Reply #143: Self-mutilating???? LOL...

No, I was born and raised in Ohio....have lived all over the state...Cleveland, Athens, Cincinnati, Columbus...never got to the northwestern part though.

But I have lived out of this state as well....California, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky....so I have another outlook. I come back to my home state and it is a mess. It has become North Texas. For the first time in its history, young people are leaving it....that makes Ohio like West Virginia.

I am simply stating the facts about Ohio...we are in a terrible financial crisis. It costs less to go to the University of KY than it does to attend an Ohio state university...and that's for Ohio residents.

Hey....what the repugnants have done to MY HOME STATE has turned it into a piss-hole state. Geez, don't take it so personally. But you better look around and start worrying....I don't want to live in another Alabama or Mississippi. When I lived in KY, people would laughingly say, 'Good thing there is Alabama and Mississippi, so we aren't last in education, health care, whatever.'

I hope you are working as hard for the RON (Reform Ohio Now) Issues that are going to be on the ballot next month...November 8...!! That will do more for our state than Hackett ever could.
