	I thought I'd start a little trouble in this group.
Since the net extends from sea to shining sea ( and beyond) we
should be able to generate some fairly lively discussion.
I am SICK of Westerners ( the Rockies and beyond) championing
the West while maligning the East. To talk to most Westerners
you'd think the East Coast was the armpit of the world. And NJ!
Well, NJ is even worse! (I won't go into what it is.) I've
been both places and a few in between and I'd say both of
them have their good and bad points. Being a native New Yorker
I'd rather live here right now. But I can see the allure of the
West ( wide open spaces, buffalo roaming, smog and all that).
Do Westerners think there is nothing worthwhile East of those
majestic Rockies?! Talk about ethnocentrism!
