Rhode Island is not an Island
I can't respect a state whose name is a lie.

4. No, you look at a map. I have been there and it is an island.
It is completely surrounded by water. i think it is the Rhode Island Ocean or something.

5. From wikipedia
Despite its name, most of the state of Rhode Island lies on the North American mainland. Providence Plantations refers to the mainland, while Rhode Island was the 17th and 18th century name for Aquidneck Island (now composed of the city of Newport, and the towns of Middletown and Portsmouth).

6. wikipedia is a right wing rag
Rhode Island is currently floating free and will probably make it to Europe by the end of the summer.
