You are F'n nuts. Either you have never lived anywhere else, or you are
part of the problem.

As for your schools ... They Suck!

I repeat, the public schools are rated the BEST in the country!


U Mass .... aka Zoo Mass.
That must be why its so highly rated. I'm guessing you weren't accepted.


Why is it that all the rich pols in your great state send their kids to
private school?
Because they can. Just like rich folks all over the country. But the
public schools are the best in the country. In fact, the high schools
in my town were rated on a par with the best private schools.


You know of any Kennedys who attend public school? Did John Kerry go to
public school? Teddy? Deval Patrick?

Nope ... private school.

So? Do you have a point? Have you ever had a point?




And as for the crime rate .... are you kidding. There is a murder a day in
Boston ..

???? Are you serious? Do you just make up this stuff as you go
along? Are you so stupid as to think I wouldn't actually have the
data on hand?

Its true that the Boston murder rate has gone up dramatically in the
last couple of years. But its still only 73 in the last reported
year. The entire state had 175 for the full year, or 2.7 per 100,000.
There were 13 states with lower rates, most of them rural with low
populations. The national average is 5.6 per 100,000, more than twice
the MA rate.

Oh,, they are Black ... guess that doesn't count.
What a racist thing to say.


Really, you are making a fool of yourself ..

Only in that I waste time with ignorant scum like you. But someone
else might find it informative.

Take a look at Massachusetts .. The Democrats have been running the state
forever.
And, because of that, we have a local tax burden lower than the national
average. We have one of the best school systems in the country, with the
highest ratings on all four of the the standardized tests (reading and
math, 4th and 8th grades) of any of the states. Crime rates are well below
the national average, with one of the lowest murder rates in the country.
Also, our suicide rate is almost the lowest in the country. The major
health care systems are rated amongst the best in the country.


It sure looks like the Dems made a mess of things. I suppose its best if
you stayed well clear.
