Blog 2 questions
I completely agree with what Casey said living in Maine has a lot of advantages but also a lot of significant disadvantages. We get the benefit of growing up in safe small towns but for many Mainers racism is still an issue. White people are the norm in Maine. We do look like close minded hillbillies compared to some other states especially when a member of our own government does not watch what he says to the press and makes himself (and by proxy) our entire state look like uneducated close minded and unprofessional people. Maine is a great place to live and grown up but instead of making Maine look wonderful (as it is) we make it look like a ridiculous place to live. The immigration brutality (again I've never witnessed it) but reminds me a lot of how Somalians were and still are treated like crap by all the other "real" citizens. Americans are angry because we just "gave" these people free stuff a fast that most people do not realize is that they were loaned to them if they do not pay them back in a certain amount of time they are deported. Somalians are working for what they are getting.
