That stuff is illegal in New England exactly because of these values.

Try all of the USA minus a few desert communities in Nevada.

Yep, you can thank the "olde world New England values" for it. Because for many years the people with these values were ruling the US of A.

divorce court and losing half of one's portfolio.

... and scaaaary monster under the bed. And another one in the closet.

That's correct because the percent of monsters under a bed are at ~50% nationwide, I forgot, Metallica wrote about it.

I guess then Jeff Bezo's wife won't retire with more money than any other woman in the country.

Fortunately, the US lost the War of 1812 and thus, right next to Vermont, we have Montreal, the hoeing capital of first world North America. Problem solved!

If you want to know, some 1/3 of the nation lives in the various metropolitan regions between Boston and DC. That's more ppl per square mile than anywhere else in the USA. So pleaz, stop the Californication. We deal with real weather on our side of the fence. And batteries don't do well in the winter time

I figure that if I'm driving an electric car in the winter, I'm just wearing my coat in the car and not using the heat, and dealing with it. My commute is not that long.

Rin says

We're very prudent about money and thus, seeing hoes definitely beats divorce court and losing half of one's portfolio.

Something worse than that can happen.

I've lost two friends who took their own life. I guess a consenting adult can take his own life if s/he chooses. But they both left schoolagers. How could they do this to their kids?

Things have changed. I am sure they could've divorced the b*itch, kept the kids are sued her ass for child support.

Ok, but then what's the point? I mean there will be days when you need to travel the miles for some unforeseen emergency and then, you'll be wearing an arctic rated sleeping bag to your destination and possibly face running out of juice somewhere in the journey. Sure, the bag will keep you warm while AAA tows you back home but isn't it more convenient just to have a tank full of gas?

I'd once rented a Porsche for that 0-60 mph experience at ~4 secs and while it was fun for a bit, it wore off during the day. Now, for that experience along with this variable battery thing in wintery climates for me, just isn't worth owning. It's not the same as banging a hottie up in Montreal. Those memories live forever ...

Whenever I hear Metallica "Enter the Sandman" I think of Tom Leykis down in LA who had specific rules for dealing with females; i.e. avoid entanglements and expensive outings.

Agreed. FYI, the woman below was an actual French-Canadian lingerie model whom I'd done up north. That's why I have her eyes covered, as this is from one of her modelling shoots.

And let me tell you, she was great in every sense of the word which is why I'm glad that these temporary 'relationships', stay that way.

Quebec and New Brunswick were surprising to me; even in the smallest towns there were hot chicks here and there; I was up there in the summer only however. For all I know they hibernate someplace in the dreary winters.
