I *do* kinda like my job. I also like to eat, smoke, and have a nice place to live. So the decision was pretty much a no-brainer. Oklahoma sounds loverly! It's not a Commonwealth, is it? I've decided the next place I live will be a "state", not a "commonwealth". Yeah, well, y’know… I *do* kinda like my job. I also like to eat, smoke, and have a nice place to live.

We have "magistrates" in a commonwealth (like in England). I also noticed in a commonwealth, when you bring your busted up van back to the dealer to fix, they buy a new door, install it and rip out the door panel... ...because they noticed the door didn't have a panel when it came in... and came to the brilliant conclusion of: "well, we thought maybe you didn't want a door panel on that side...". *THUD* A few fundamental differences I’ve noticed between a “state” and a “commonwealth” is the way the government and legal system is set up.
