Comments on: Jersey pride, well-founded. http://www.angrybrownbutch.com/2007/12/17/jersey-pride-and-well-founded/ politics, media, culture and life from a queer boricua in brooklyn Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:05:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Ed Borden http://www.angrybrownbutch.com/2007/12/17/jersey-pride-and-well-founded/#comment-46171 Ed Borden Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:53:40 +0000 http://www.angrybrownbutch.com/2007/12/17/187#comment-46171 Well, I live in NJ too and am proud of it, but not for that reason. As far as the death penalty, something needs to be done ,but not the elimination, if anything, the process needs to be sped up. There are some things to be ashamed about in NJ also. The current governor,(you know, the one who preached about seat belts then got into an accident and was almost killed because he was not wearing one) wants to double the toll rates on the state toll roads every 4 years. Ridiculous. NJ also has very high tax rates. NJ has the highest car insurance rates nationwide. Why is it that the other states have gas stations that you pump your own gas and it is about 15 cents cheaper on the gallon? I can only do that on the military bases in NJ. Why is it that in most states I can go to 7-11 or the local grocery store to buy beer or liquor, but in NJ you have to go to a special store? Why is it? I am proud that I cannot get a better pizza anywhere in the Nation than a place near exit 7 in bordentown (anthonys pizza town)(opinion) I am proud that the jersey shore is the place to be in the summer. Loads of fun at seaside park. I love the people of New Jersey. I love the fact that a New Jersey team is going to the super bowl this year and another state is trying to claim them!!!!!
