Note: I'm assuming you wrote the excerpt at the end of this message.
If not, please disregard.

Its obvious that the only reason that you've ever been to LV is
to shop and immediately head out of town.  I've lived here
for 24 years, my family has been here since 1943, and I find that it is a
very reasonable place (until recently but more on that later).  There
are actual neighborhoods with children, schools, parks, and other
"normal" activities.  There are a lot of people in LV that
generally avoid the casinos (not that they were that bad until
recently) and have their own form of culture that often doesn't resemble
what morons from back east (or west for that matter) consider to be culture.

Most of our problems are caused by people that have come to town
in the last 10 years or so which has caused a lot of growth which
has pretty much ruined any chance of a pleasant life.
East coast people (and I use the term people loosely) are usually morons
who are going to rough it out West (real tough and independent guys!!! ITS
BEEN DONE BEFORE) and end
up destroying or over-regulating things and generally making a mess.
The worst insult: I consider easterners worse than people from California.
At least people from California had the sense not to be from anywhere
east of the Mississippi or at least to have bailed from that area.

One can only hope that the exhaust from a UFO completely fries the
top of freedom ridge the next time you clowns are up there.

Now go away.
