Rhode Island Fact: The people of Rhode Island were the first to take action against the English by sinking the British ship "The Gaspee"

I'm sick of it, I just can't stand being ignored! I understand you have "big issues" that a small state like me does not have to face, but that miniscule fact gives you no right to toss me aside and force me out of conversation. I'm older than practically ALL OF YOU. I was here at the start of our beautiful nation, I have fought through all of our wars and have watched our family bloom. However, as I stand here today I can't help but feel that I am an irrelevant. A relative whose opinion is barely worth acknowledging — let alone listening to.
I have watched for centuries as many of you have grown closer and closer together, and with every triumph or emotional hurdle; I have been cheering, for most of you, from the sidelines, offering you advice, a shoulder to cry on, and acting as a good big brother should. Yet, when everything is working out and all of you are happy, you forget that I exist. After all this time, all our years together, I cannot recall a single instance of any of you inviting me, just me, out for coffee or to "hang out". Countless times each of you have pushed me to the edge of conversation forcing me to walk behind you in the road. Years of this has made me into the lonely and antisocial state I am today. Don't look at me that way, with that blatant pity in your eyes. I don't want that nor do I not deserve that. All I desire is that you shut your fat mouths, allow me to fairly share my opinion, and to not treat me like a child.
