That Real Live Bunch From Jersey

New Jerseyan dissidents are frequently observed bandying about our state's population density (1,171.1 persons per sq. mi, son!) as if any one of us really has anything to do with it. It is certainly somewhat understandable that each Garden State resident who was elected to be born north of the Rio Grande expects to be counted as a legitimate point o' lite in this spiral galaxy of a clusterfuck. Belief in such a notion may be symptomatic of a contagious mania or an over-dependence on waning Jeffersonian ideals, but the fact of the matter (as I've been told on at least numerous occasions) remains that the inescapable crowdedness of Jersey results from a confluence of factors.
