Massachusetts is the only state he carried in the 1972 election, and it also has a reputation as a corrupt and lawless state where married gay couples oppress heterosexuals, everyone has wild orgasmic sex in the middle of the street, and abortions are provided at every street corner.

have you ever been to massachusetts?

it is actually an authoritarian state.  you cant even buy alcohol on sundays there.

You can't buy alcohol on Sundays in Connecticut either, not even beer, though I heard they might be changing the law.

dazzleman, ct is the armpit of new england.

it really is a police state.

what is the speed limit on the interstates there 45...or has it been bumped to 50?

[WalterMitty]

no, dazzleman, i didnt travel I-95.

ive forgotten the number of the interstate i took through CT.  84, maybe?  i was coming from NY en route to mass.

i did spend a little time in CT.  it seemed pretty expensive and much too suburban (i hate to sound like brtd)

[WalterMitty]

i didnt hang out too much in the ct.

but it was in and around the hartford area. 

it was a little too suburban for my tastes.  hartford might not be a bad city, though,

[WalterMitty]

dazzleman, i havent found mass to be nearly as suburban as connecticut.

from what ive seem of mass, i really like it.  ive yet to visit the berkshires though.   im looking forward to going there as soon as possible.

worcester is the really bad part of mass.  it is an industrial wasteland.

Since you appear not to like suburbs, is it the rural areas you like, or the cities?

I agree Worcester is not great, but I think Springfield is worse.

I really like the area around the Berkshires.  Let me know what you think after you visit it.

I would bet that there are parts of Connecticut you'd like if you got a chance to see them.  Maybe next time you go to Massachusetts, you can spend a little time in Connecticut.  If you tell me what you like, I may be able to tell you about some cool places.

i like rural areas and cities.  im just not crazy about suburbia, though i dont have the same fanaticism as brtd.

im moving to mass at the end of the month.
