Free-thinking? Huh? After he just got done ranting and raving about how folks like me would be tarred and feathered in his city? (Well that's the message I got out of that...)

"Less evolved"... How can he compare his screaming maudlin faux-plastic existence to that of any normal American... If that's evolution, I'm stayin' in the dark ages.

Your answer is you wouldn't be. There are lots of political conservatives and even fundamentalists and conservative evangelicals in this city, unpersecuted, unbothered, and living in perfect contentment. Morford doesn't know a fraction of his own town, besides being a dingbat.

He is not alone apparently, as a lot of posters here haven't a clue about SF either.
