This makes me think that being in Massachusetts I have a good chance of not being killed by vehicle or gun. Now I just need to avoid the coyotes that hang out by my car early in the morning when I'm going to work.... |
Michigan is the 8th largest state in terms of population. It was higher before the "depression" here. We've lost almost about a half million people since 2005.
