Funny how it's the bigger nanny states, they really don't want their
citizens to have a "say" in their government... Mass is a perfect example.

You stupid little fool!!! What does ANY of the above have to do with ANY
state's citizens having a "say" in their government? Do you know
(probably not) that the people that run states are hired BY those
"citizens"? It's called voting.

If I buy a product that just doesn't work out well when I get it home, I
can return it and get a refund.

With an elected official, whey you vote you are making a two year
commitment for any mistakes you have made in your judgment in selecting
the elected official. You can try and return it but often times it isn't
worth the effort.
