Just out of curiosity, how does anyone know this plate is not directed at the millions of illegal aliens we currently have in the country???....

Great point. Without knowing who it is directed at, all is just speculation and probably not worth getting into a tizzy about.

I would guess that most people would look at it and think if funny, a "crusty Yankee" opinion. I doubt many would be seriously offended by it and if they are, maybe they should lighten up.

I absolutely agree with the sentiment of the financial help that the area receives and I have no resentment for tourists even though I find them funny at time, uppity at times, and annoying at times. Hmmm, that applies to locals as well.

I have no real interest in telling others how to express their opinion or express their sense of humor and I don't want others to be bugging me about my preferences either. Sometimes people go WAY over the line and a word to the wise may be needed but mostly I figure people are adult enough to deal with an imperfect world and the imperfect people that live in it.

Maybe it's directed at their in-laws?!?!?!?

I could not care less about the license plate.

I have lived in Florida for 40 years and hate the increased traffic and aggravation that all the tourists cause in the winter (although I don't hate the tourists) . In the 5 months I am here I become the hated tourist. The irony is not lost on me, but that is the reality.

The UNreality is that some folks not only want all the hated tourists in NH to "go home," they also want to time-travel to the more simple happier past.

Neither is going to happen. Such is life.

Don't we all want to travel to the happy, simpler past? How did we get into this lifestyle we have today?
