<strong>I don't even want to know the stereotypes about NH. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
I can't resist retelling a joke from Massachusetts. First, some background: Some years ago, the Federal government enforced a uniform drinking age of 21 by threatening to withhold federal highway funds from any state with a lower drinking age. At the time, NH's drinking age was 18. Now, NH is /so/ conservative that they pay their legislators the exact dollar amount that was originally set when their legislature was first convened, several hundred years ago.
So, the joke goes that when the Feds threatened to withhold highway funds from NH, the legislature immediately convened to determine what a highway was, and whether they had any.
To be fair, Boston, MA, once elected a guy to the mayor's office because his last name was Kennedy. No relation.
