You may not be seeing the forest for the trees. Corvallis is regarded as a backwards farm town by the elite libs. And in mid-July, here in Coos Bay, it's overcast for the third day in a row. Can't wait to get me a solar car.
Huh?
I live in Corvallis; this is one of the most "progressive" small cities in Oregon.
Oregon State University is as liberal as they come.
Not as hob-nob as Haaaarvard, but bad enough..:=)
