Maybe it was just my experiences in New Jersey, that personally were not good; I just get the feeling, there is so much corruption there; That the mafia, basically runs the state; That the State Troopers look like the Gestapo; That there are tolls wherever you go; They most of the garbage from everywhere is dumped there. That you have Ocean City, with it's million dollar homes; Empty all winter. That God for bid, you would need a little help there. People would pass by you on the street, if you were dieing. Look at Atlantic City; it's a disgrace. Camden, New Jersey, looks like a war zone. Asbury Park looks about the same. It is a strange and somewhat evil place to me... ------------------------ Yahoo!
