I live in the East Bay, too. While I may not love the prevailing political views around here, I don't like it when our community gets trashed. It's a cheap shot, like saying Dallas values equals favoring assassination or West Virginia values equals incest. SF does not equate to NAMBLA.
Sorry, but when the SF Board of Stupid-visors passes some of their lunatic bills and proclamations, it becomes difficult to NOT get trashed.
Reminds me of the Israeli guy I worked with in New York years ago. We were discussing the merits of buying some clothes at one place or another and he looked at me with a straight face and said "What do you want from me? I never buy retail!"
