INSULTING THE STATES:
OREGON:
When admitted as a State, Oregon decided to avoid the issue of slavery entirely by outlawing black people.
Gay couples can get married in Oregon, as long as they are not first cousins.
Portland, the largest city in Oregon, requires every person who is not actually starving to pay a flat fee to support artists whose work other people are not willing to pay for. Much of the money is then confiscated by teachers.
In 1846 the British ceded all the Oregon Territory south of the 49th Parallel to the United States. For some reason many Canadians cover their mouths and turn away when this is mentioned.
We don't know why....
