I love NJ....Got a problem with that?

Ah my beloved, attitude laden Garden State...how I love thee... Yes, I really, really do. I was born and raised in NJ...and I still live here! I am a true Jersey girl who is proud of the fact (one of many) that New Jersey is one of only two states left in the USA where it is illegal to pump your own gas! Seriously, why are self-serve states bagging on Jersey for this when they all end up filling up here because our full-serve stations charge LESS for gas? Go figure... It's not easy to put up with the constant barrage of jokes about my NJ. ( You're from NJ? What exit? Really? Like I haven't heard it before...and it was a stupid joke then. Let it go...) I've always felt that the only folks who were 'allowed' to criticize NJ are those people who actually are from NJ... But there are so many things about Jersey that folks just don't get...or that have been passed around and twisted so they just plain get it WRONG!  I would like to show some love for my state, ...
