I LOVE San Francisco.

[UdoKier]

I love that there is a great transit system here.
I love the weather.
I love the views.
I love that there is a Japanese-English bilingual public school for my son to attend.
I love that there is a Japanese-English bilingual subsidized day care for my other son.

And I love that in the principal's office of my son's school, on the cork-board, there is a photo of Bush with the eyes scratched out and a Hitler mustache colored on.

I love that at a junior high school I visited, there were posters made by the kids all over the place urging tolerance for people of very ethnicity and gender identity. And in one classroom, there was a bumper sticker on the wall "Defend America, Defeat Bush".

I love that I can talk left-wing politics and have people not only not disagree with me, but they also are aware of the info I bring up, so I don't have to bring them up to speed on something as fundamental as the definition of "black box voting", and I don't have to explain to them WHY it's wrong for the US to detain US citizens indefinitely without charges.

I think that's the must annoying thing about other parts of the country. It's not the right-wing thinking, it's the utter ignorance and absolute reliance on TV to provide news (which of course it does not do).
