Yup, Spiro Agnew springs to mind.

Maryland is considered northeast?

It didn't used to be but it is now. It is indistinguishable from New
Jersey until you get out on the Eastern shore or west of Frederick
(which was always more like Western Pennsylvania).



Spend less time in that raging florida sun and preserve what little of
your brain hasn't been fried.

You weren't there so you don't know but Maryland used to be a border
state mixing northern and southern cultures but so many New Englanders
had moved there by the 80s, trying to make it "more like we do up
north" that they did.

You guys succeeded, it is now just like Connecticut. Even my friend
from New Haven, moved here (Bradenton) because he said Maryland had
become just like the place he had left before.

Maryland used to be the "Free State". That is now an obsolete term.
There is not much freedom and nothing is free.


I wasn't there? I wasn't "there" for the signing of the Magna Carta,
either, but I am aware of its history and I am also aware of Maryland's
history.

I'm hoping you know that Maryland's nickname as the "free state" has to
do with several sorts of freedom, one of which predates the American
Civil War by a considerable number of years.

I haven't discovered any limitations on "freedom" in Maryland, and I've
lived here nearly 15 years.

Oh, and Maryland still has the highest median family income of any state
in the Union and ranks second in per capita income and Connecticut is
still in the top five in median income and is first in per capita
income. Florida ranks 37th in median income, a few notches above South
Carolina, and 28th in per capita income.

Only 5 or 6 states have a higher tax load than MD. The income numbers are boosted by MD's proximity to DC. I've seen western MD. And you have the ******** called Baltimore. My SIL lived in Bel Aire MD for a couple of years. Transferred out of there as fast as she could.
