I take it back and apologize for insulting NYC.
While I disagree with many/most public policies of that city, I've been treated well during all my visits.
My real problem is the voters of NYC that constantly put the likes of Schumer, Clinton, Bloomberg and yes, even Rudy, in office and position them to inflict these measures on the rest of us.
But, I will stand by my assertion that New York values are not America's values. We can do better than Rudy and, hopefully, we will.
Apology accepted. I get frustrated with the voters of this city and state too. :-)
