The Arrogance of Virginia

I have a problem with Virginia. Why can’t they be a state like everyone else? Are they so insecure that they have to hang on to the label of Commonwealth? Frankly, I’d expect a little bit more cooperation from an area of the county that has played such a rich role in our nation’s history. Now, in all fairness Virginia is not the only problem child among our 50 “states”. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Kentucky are also desperately clinging to the classification of commonwealth, but of course, Kentucky has always been one to follow the east coast crowd. The truth is that Virginia a dirty instigator and is just setting a bad example. After all, we all get one star on the flag, why can’t these constituents of our great union just drop the attitude and play nice with everyone else?
