How is it that Massachusetts seems to be such a stodgy socially conservative state in culture while we have such raving liberals for government and laws? I go to Dallas and see vice I would never see in Boston? I go to even Nashville and see a rip roaring night life that one would think would not exist in the Bible belt. While in Boston- if your lucky- you will see a bar fight at closing time!
