People Abandoning New York State, New Data Indicate

Simple answer. I worked in Albany. Too many liberals. Fairly uninformed and lemming like people. Couldn't think for themselves. Facts didn't matter. Mean-spirited democrats. I saw the real world of liberals (of which I thought I was one), but liberalism got redefined for me in New York. I moved to the Midwest where common sense is the order of the day and debate is civil.
