Northern Northern Massachusetts, if you believe our state government, which is trying to phase out the term Maine...![]()
5% is hardly a wide margin, especially when you have those GE voting machines... I thought we had laws mandating paper ballots in this country?And the CT referendum on the re-instatement of capital punishment got defeated by a wide margin.
And the last referendum on whether Maine should be a separate state failed, so they clearly see that a separate "State of Maine" makes no economic sense. I don't see why people keep bringing up that idea.You guys are in denial mode over Maine becoming a separate state, that's all. Just because you guys are in the centre of the friggin' country doesn't mean that the country has to be an über-MA.
Don't get me started about the country's university policy... it's like they're deliberately trying to do as crappy of a job as possible.Oh, and BTW, what's your opinion over what happened at Beacon Hill lately over the university top-up fees issue? Don't the politicians know why we have the Tripartite System in the first place?

Here in the Free Republic of Delaware, we do public hangings - on the first Saturday of the month, if anyone needs it, down in front of Legislative Hall here in Dover. We do a one month wait between trial/sentencing, then off to the Gallows. Seems like the real bad premeditated crimes have fallen off to almost nothing. We haven't had a hanging here for almost a year, but the last one was a Double. A fellow and his girlfriend offed her husband after torturing him. Good turnout, @ 2,500 people and the hangman got an ovation for that one.
