That's essentially fair, as the fees are used to maintain the roads, bridges, tunnels, and god awful traffic circles that make our little Garden State the asphalt-paved slice of heaven that it is.willSIXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806415647010281229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25001810.post-1150166996255470232006-06-12T22:49:00.000-04:002006-06-12T22:49:00.000-04:00First of all, I would like to thank all of you for...First of all, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to post your comments on the back pages of this comic book.<BR/><BR/>NJ Alum, You raise a good point as well.

Sometimes, it gets crowded.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and the paint and the stain and the caulk and all the other stuff you buy at the Home Depot...gotta get made somewhere...might as well be Harrison, NJ.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the gas you used to power your car all the way up I-95 only to stiff us hard working tri-staters by not paying the tolls to fix our roads...well, somebody's gotta refine it. Might as well be Elizabeth, NJ.<BR/><BR/>Now, I know you prefer to live in a place where the #1 state export is fucking baseball bats and the #2 export is...well...baseball bats. And we all know it's cool to hate us city folk, what with all our highways and bypasses and silly regulations (and toll booths). But is it really too much to ask that you at least be a little appreciative that we sacrifice our lungs and our golden years so you hayseeds can paint houses, drive pickups, and chew tobaccky?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, but for what it's worth:<BR/><BR/>You're welcome.<BR/><BR/><BR/>p.s. - two last words for you, old chum: The BosswillSIXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806415647010281229noreply@blogger.com
