The only sidebar I would like to mention is something I noticed back when I would travel to that part of the country while drag racing. One of our big races was at Englishtown. You probably know the area. It use to amuse me how many of the fellers from the Jersey area perceived guns. I think they saw them as having a soul or something. "Guns are bad" seemed to be the prevailing thought. Hollow point bullets were even more evil. Just the sight of a hollow point round would cause a major controversial conversation. I always laughed and blamed it on something in the water.

Then you could drive a few miles over the border into PA and find friendlies. It was strange for a feller coming from a State as large as Texas to realize fifty miles is all that separated liberal strongholds from conservative strongholds. I always found that part of the country interesting but never thought I would want to live in it.

Over 30 years ago when I was in college on the east coast, we universally referred to New Jersey as THE "certain excretory orifice" of America.

They don't report "the news", they spin it into propaganda. My disgust with "the media" and "journalists" will not be abated any time soon, I'm certain of that.
