As to what residents of Maine are called .. here in neighboring NH we call them
Mainiacs. But it is said in a friendly way - it's my favorite place to visit.
As to the fast-driving tourists who come from the south (Massachusetts) and
flout (flount?) the rules of driving, we have different names that I am
reluctant to say on this list .. but all in fun of course. Heard some talk a
few years ago - not serious - about New England and the Canadian maritimes
merging and becoming a separate country. The maritimes were economically
depressed and would benefit from the merger (or maybe not ) and the Maniacs
will get health care. At the rate things are headed, that may be their only
hope. Speaking of which, Obama doing a town hall tomorrow in Portsmouth, NH to
address health care.
Like Stephen, I am curious about examples of creativity and divergent thinking.
Frankly, I think tips, collectively, is a pretty creative group as a whole, as
are Europeans, no more or less so, than any other group.

Subject: [tips] Maine and Freud
The State of Maine has a problem similar to the Fundamental Cocaine Error
committed by Freud.Freud thought that cocaine was a wonder drug that would help
cure some of his clients of
heroin adduction.Lots of clients who are on prescription drugs in Maine are
beginning to turn to heroin as a second drug of choice. They rationale that its
cheaper to buy,has more powerfu; effects than prescription pain killers which
can be expensive and they may not have money for continued refills.Both Freud
and those residents of Maine(Btw
are who live in Maine called Mainians or Canadian wannabees?) are forgetting
the long term effects of the substitutes. Wasn't methadone supposed to be a
substitute for heroin?I worked as a drug counselor at a State correctional
institution and those inmates who were heroin addicts seemed to come from the
higher middle class
and were well educated.Are certain drugs class specific and why?
