All those TV sitcoms and detective series filmed there have convinced some Californians that they live in the real world and the rest of the country is some inferior, surreal backwater. It’s the same disease that afflicts DC denizens and certain northeasterners, Manhattanites in particular. They believe the most peculiar things, about themselves as well as all those strange “there they be dragons” locales that have fallen off the edge of the known world to them. Ignorance proudly on display.

I mean seriously, do people always have to keep the fear of hate itself alive and well? It’s like they’re swatting at shadows sometimes.
