Yah know... I have visited every state in the nation, at some point in my life, except Maine. I've never found any compelling reason to visit. If we give away Maine, I could actually say I've visited every state in the nation, solving that dilema.
We’re not all moonbats here in Maine.....there are alot of conservatives.
I have no desire to be part of Canada. I love the Second Amendment, and I hate curling. The stars and stripes is my flag, not the Canadian maple leaf. No offense intended towards Canadian freepers.
Maine has, per capita, one of the highest percentages of National Guard troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Whenever a soldier from Maine gets killed in combat, the local television and newspaper media reports the story in depth, and with respect. Our democrat governor orders all flags lowered to honor the fallen soldier. Either Snowe or Collins, sometimes both, attend the funeral. There are large numbers of veterans in the state, too.
Maine broke away from Massachusetts in 1820...thank God....and unlike Massachusetts, the Second Amendment is alive and well here in Maine. Firearms of all kinds are popular here.
If you ever do visit Maine, I suggest the coastal areas in the summer. Avoid visiting in January, February or March at all costs.
