Nobody believes me when I say it but I insist that Connecticut is a very stupid place. I’ve lived in different states in the US (CT, MD, IN, IL/MO), and I am convinced that something is deeply wrong with Connecticut. See this, for example:
James F. Jones Jr. announced Monday that he will retire next year — a year earlier than planned — as president of Trinity College in Connecticut, The Hartford Courant reported. Jones has been under sustained criticism from many alumni since last year, when he announced that all fraternities and sororities would be forced to become coeducational. College officials characterized the retirement decision as unrelated to the Greek uproar, but the Courant reported that many alumni critics are dubious, given the extent of anger over the Greek decision.
You’ll say people in any state can go into an uproar over something this trivial. Yes, maybe. But in CT nothing but this ever happens. The state’s economy is disintegrating. If nobody notices that it is only because a couple of ultra-rich enclaves skew the statistics and prevent anybody from noticing the nearly third-world poverty of the state.
The state looks like a war has been going on in it for at least a decade. I haven’t seen such incredible poverty as in CT anywhere in the US, and I have crossed the country many times by bus and by car. In the meanwhile, people create drama over some stupid fraternities in some little dinky-wink college.
The Midwest is definitely a lot better off than this scary place.
