...and just stay the hell out. Your gone? then be gone!
You have the right to your opinion. However, I attacked the corruption and paternalistic attitude of the state government and the idiotic anti-gun liberalism of the NYC people that have moved in and screwed up the place I grew up in - I did not attack you personally.
As for not recommending that people move to NJ, why would any honest person do so? Compared to most states, NJ has a higher cost of living, higher taxes, more crowded highways, more pollution (though not in the southern half or the northwest - only within about 25 miles of NYC), more crime and some of the crappiest gun laws in the country (though there are a couple of worse places). NJ isn't what it was when I grew up - that's a fact. That it is slipping down the slope to being a liberal utopia (i.e. a high tax, high crime, anti-gun paternalistic rathole) at an ever-increasing rate is also a fact. I, personally, don't like it, especially since my parents and lots of family and friends still live there, but facts are facts.
I mourn for the NJ that I knew, but it ceased to exist long ago. I know that there are many decent and hard-working people who live there - and there always will be. I'm sure that you're one of them. But that doesn't change the way things are, that NJ is basically a lost cause. Look at the people who represent the state, for crying out loud - are they, as a group, people that love liberty and trust the people? I'd say that they are something quite different.
Again, this post (and the last) are NOT a personal attack on you - try to respond to my arguments, or to show where my facts are wrong, rather than attacking me.
