Honestly PA has lots of problems. I do want our coastline back. Delaware doesn't exist. The Johnstown flood tax needs to go. I do think PA is better culturally than most states (I feel this way about the northeast in general, and the original 13 more broadly). PA was founded directly because of one man railing about the right of jury veto, and pissed off the king so much he sent that man to the colonies with a sizeable chunk of land just to get rid of him. I love that.

It's not that I think PA is necessarily better than the US as a whole, though. . . Just that the US as a whole is ridiculous and I don't feel allegiance to it in the same way I do my home state.
