So please, leave. Then we will be free to deal with the ignorant, dumb-asses up here, and free up the resources needed to progress.

Somebody put up a post a day or two ago that was supposed to demonstrate all the wonderful things we would lose if you left the union. Problem is that 95% of the things listed are only appealing to other dumb-ass rednecks. Maybe if you left the union, most of the people that like things like NASCAR and Lynyrd Skynyrd and wrasslin would emigrate and you could book Molly Hatchet and have a big ole Bar-b-que and beer-bust to celebrate your new-found commonality.
