You know koan, I think your liberalism is a product of the Stockholm syndrome. You're naturally an Okie (by that I don't mean your people came from Oklahoma literally, but they came from somewhere LIKE Oklahoma). You were confronted by Bay area liberals who despised people like you and you coped with the social and mental abuse by taking on the identity of your liberal abusers. By making yourself the liberals liberal, you think you've won acceptance.

I was one of them when I was young. I know how they feel as I felt that way. I hated the beatniks at UC Berkeley. But I also went to UC once and said to myself: :" here are 30,000 people and they are all smarter than I am. I believed that. And while it is probably still true-lol, I can at least carry a normal conversation with most of them.

I was so jealous and had so little confidence in myself.
