In general a western attitude about being independent (somewhat spoiled by the people who have moved in from socialist republics).

You know, I am really sick of the snide remarks of some people out west who think they have a lock on being freedom loving. Most Western states would still be nothing but sagebrush blowing in the wind were it not for federal water projects.

How's that for a snide comment! I was talking about California Left-wingers, for instance. And I do believe California has water projects. Where would the Eastern seaboard be without the highway system?

There is a different attitude in the West. I like it. Maybe it is the sun. Maybe it is easy access to prunes. I have heard from people who seem to need more of both.
