Humor aside, cities are artificial environments that insulate their

That certainly seems to apply in spades to San Francisco.

Really? You have a lot of exerience in SF? Where? In the gay bars no
doubt.

I agree entirely with the first part of the sentence. As to the second, it's
too broad. There are certainly some folks like Jon, whose intellectual
horizons seem to stop at the city line. There are others who appreciate that
there's a big diverse country out there with intelligent and talented people
who have reached conclusions different from those of us who live in what
Tennessee Williams called the cities' vast bee-hives, and whose conclusions
may have as much validity as our own.

Watch your mouth Dave. You don't know anything about me, and some of
my relatives are pretty good with plows and pitchforks.
