^ an attitude to be admired.

That maybe so, but there are other ways to do it. Team up with the "Right To The City" non-pro in Massachusetts. They are all for human rights and equality. Maybe they could do something about the JRC. I am just glad Dade-County doesn't have one of those places yet. I would be out there with "Right To The City" with picket signs and everything.

Although I shouldn't I'm going to have to disagree with you Ana.  This may sound bias but I'm from Massachusetts and being from here I think I have abit more insight then you do.  Many people have opinions about this state but actually we pretty much rock!  Its a historical state with many sights to see: the Museum of Arts, the Science Museum (with the new Harry Potter exhibit), Fenway Park (One of the oldest baseball parks to this day), the Freedom Trail, etc.  Gay marriage is legal in this state which is great...I'm all for gay marriage!

Texas however...well all I have to say is George Bush! Thanks a lot Texas! hahaha

Hey,

George H.W. Bush was born right in Milton, Massachusetts; pretty much the municipality "next door" to where the Adamses were born.

Other things to cite about Massachusetts:  Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island and the Mohawk Trail are all great places to visit.

In terms of music; in addition to Boston (I'm assuming the rock group Boston is indeed from Boston); Massachusetts gave us Arthur Fiedler, Leonard Bernstein and Ray Conniff.  Arthur Fiedler and Leonard Bernstein were both born in Massachusetts.  Arthur Fiedler; conductor of the Boston Pops from 1929 to 1979; made the Boston Pops a legendary orchestra.  Leonard Bernstein's career included composing and being a conductor for the New York Philharmonic.  Only recently, did I learn Ray Conniff was from Attleboro, Massachusetts.  (Ray Conniff was ba conductor for a soft vocal orchestra; he produced many albums in the 1960's and 1970's of contemporary pop songs).

Back to Arthur Fiedler; I'm an avid Arthur Fiedler fan.  I have many Arthur Fiedler CDs and 8-tracks as well as cassettes and records.  I have some pretty rare Arthur Fiedler/Boston Pops recordings as well.  I must not forget his Massachusetts buddy, Leroy Anderson.  If any of you are familiar with the Christmas song "Sleighride"; the music was composed by Leroy Anderson.  (Somebody else wrote the lyrics).  Leroy Anderson also composed instrumental tunes (1950's-ish) such as "The Syncopated Clock", "The Typewriter", and "Blue Tango".  Perhaps some of you are familiar with these tunes.  Leroy Anderson often worked closely with Arthur Fiedler including medley arrangements.

I beleive Norman Rockwell was also from Massachusetts.

Thanks Lizzy

You're thinking of the younger George Bush.  He was born in New Haven.  (I suspect the senior Bush was probably a Yale student at the time; I would have to confirm it.)  The elder George Bush; 41st. President of the United States; who is now 85 years old; was indeed born in Massachusetts.  Since his son became the 43rd. President, the elder Bush is commonly known as "George H.W. Bush" instead of simply "George Bush".  Speaking of Massachusetts, I remember in 1988 he was running agains the then Democratic Massachusetts Governor; Michael Dukakis.  I saw George (H.W.) Bush say his famous words "Read my lips.  No new taxes." during one of the 1988 debates with Dukakis.

Sorry!  I should have a bit clearer you misunderstood what I wrote...I was talking about George W Bush the former President!  Nothing against his dad...its George W. Bush who I worry about.  I have no problem with his father being from here...thats fine...his son on the other hand...yeah no thank you!

Alright. I think a boycott should work, but also letters stating that we refuse any business in Massachusetts t until they stop funding that horrible place. >: (

That includes ONLINE businesses. I buy on eBay and if I see an online store fro Mass. I plan to write then an email explaining why I won't buy from them even if they have the lowest prices. The funding needs to be cut off! Someone should make a list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Co...sachusetts

Can someone find a more acurate list?

I think someone should compose a really good letter that can be emailed to all of the companies, as well as officials there. We could start an online petition, make a facebook page, too.

>_<; Again with the boycotting, I might as well tell the kids at the Y I can no longer help them with their home work. I mean come on, we are being so ridiculous here. I know how horrible that place is, but don't take it out on those innocent people and the whole state. That is like me taking my anger out on the whole state of New Jersey and New York because of things that happened to me.

Anyways, boycotting is such a bad idea. I rather just let things work it out themselves.

I would say more, but I am already sounding rude and arrogant. So I'll stop right now.
