I take back my opinion that Maryland (outside of Hunt Valley, home of Avalon Hill and Civilization both) is a crap state. When the government does something like this, they have enough of a combination of a sense of place, the sardonic, and civic pride that cuts through the BS and actually makes a statement. -
The gov apparently didn't want Sid to push back the release date. This should do it!

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment
