I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

If you were fatter you would look like my cousin Wayne "The Pain", who is 100% Pennsylvania Dutch (I'm only roughly 55% myself).

Well, my middle sister and her family live in a suburb of Pittsburgh - though they plan to move somewhere south because they find the Piitsburgh area too liberal for their tastes (whatever that means).

I had a lovely time in Pittsburgh when moving to New York. :)

Yeah, I hear that the quality of life in the 'burgh is pretty good - they seem to have managed the move from steel industry to modern economy rather well.

Moving away from somewhere for political reasons? :wacko:

That's only non-crazy when you do it as an actual political refugee.
