Maine. Everyone here is 10 years behind on everything. It's not like people are settling to be mediocre. Everyone is content being crappy. Business, art, everything. And when I point out that things are closer to the bottom than the top around here, I'm the *******. For wanting better for myself and my progeny.
And let's not forget about the tourists! Sure, every place has got tourists. But not like this. These are a special breed and they think they run this state. AND THE STATE LETS THEM. The increased traffic in the summertime destroys our roads, which we can't repair in the wintertime, so we're constantly doing construction during the "busy" season, which the summer folk aren't held financially responsible for. Their tax dollars don't go toward fixing the roads. I wish gas would reach $7/gallon so these ****ers would stay the **** home.
The whole system is ****ed, and no one seems to care. I guess ignorance really is bliss.
