"Yes. I wasn't surprised by the election results. Even on college campuses I saw plenty of Bush/Cheney signs. If I'd stayed in my New York bubble, I wouldn't have expected it. People on both coasts voted for Kerry. I think that's because of oceans. Ports are placed you get information from elsewhere. Boulder is beautiful, but it's landlocked." Laurie Anderson
You aren't educated unless you can get information from overseas via a port and anyone who lives elsewhere is really dumb. Has this woman ever heard of the internet?
States that have major ports get populated by people who retain their ties to their home countries (which are invariably anti-American) and don't assimilate, even over multiple generations. That's the problem. Thinking that states like that reflect America and what is best for it is just foolish.
