Pennsylvania, Progressing.

Well. What can I say. The state itself is a mesh of Puritan ideals who forgot to progress, as if God himself, said no cars, no phones and definitely no deodorant. Of course you have cities like Pittsburgh who also forget to move forward, but they're only 30 years behind not 200 like them Amish Folk. Though a strong Union does nothing without jobs and without jobs why pay the Union. The state wholly is no better, "Pennsylvania needs a stronger federal trade policy that levels the playing field with foreign competitors because unfair trade from China and other nations has cost the state about 78,000 jobs this decade, two labor-management coalitions said Tuesday."

Interesting. When Shit hits the fan we blame the foreigners. Easiest scapegoat, though I blame Pennsylvania. I ask them to look East. You have NY, and NJ moving forward and you're standing still. Plenty of Foreigners there. Driving through Pennsylvania is like driving through a horror movie and you hope you get to where you need to go before dark. Do you hold unto religion as what was said. Well Yeah. The Long Ago Owner of Pennsylvania, William Penn was a Quaker. There is still Quakers there. So that statement at least in the slightest way is correct. Do people with lower incomes, less education, and not many prospects cling to religion. Absolutely. Why do you think religion is so important in South America, Asia and Africa. Because due to economic as well as other social conditions, it is a comfort to know this struggle is only temporary. Same goes for the Middle East. Disgruntled Men with no Prospects of a Bright Future decide to reach Heaven sooner. Something they have in common with the folks in good ol' Penn. They blame the outsiders, in their case the Israelis, for stealing their jobs and land. The thing is, I am in Houston, but I never went to a Home Depot, where the laborers are and saw one dressed in a business suit and briefcase telling me he knows CAD or can do my accounting work. So Pennsylvania, here's your new slogan.

Pennsylvania, Progressing.

Welcome to the 21st Century.
