I don't think moving to another place during youth in search of better living is anything unique. Plus I know several conservatives who in their younger days held similar socially liberal beliefs. A lot can happen between 27 & 37. There's not too many in the youner generation that I'd give up on just yet. Think David Horowitz.

You're probably right. I shouldn't respond to liberals while reading Ann Coulter and listening to Glenn Beck. :)
