If you don't say 'we', you're not much of a fan to begin with, so this is me arguing with BS sports fans.

I agree. There are definately some things about PA that are dislikable if not hateable. However, naming yourself "IHATEPA" or "STUCKPA" or whatever throws any notion of integrity out the window. The lists of PA's faults I've read included a handful of things I don't like, either, but any such message gets lost when your words are venom. In other words, a Democrat can't expect to change the thoughts of a reasonable Republican by saying "I hate Republicans and here's why" and vice-versa.

PA is not perfect by any means and there are definitely things that can change. However, Instead of me packing up and searching for the "perfect paradise", maybe I can stay put and help make things better, no matter how minute or small my efforts may be.

Good for you. What are you trying to change? How are you trying to change things? Have you contacted your state legislators?

If you think the government is going to do anything you're living in more of a dream world  Besides there's not much one can do about the local culture being the way it is.
