Roger:

Don’t let all those regular human beings freak you out. I know you have been in California a long time but some of the attitudes you are surrounded with there are no doubt more common than you think.

They are not universal of course. Today I talked to a young woman who believes that Bush and the Republicans orchestrated 9/11 so that they could make money and take over the world and the rest of us are just dupes. So what is stranger the ABB crowd or the social conservatives?

Deomcrats come with differing ideologies and so do Republicans, you don’t have to buy the whole package. Few people do.
