Bob I'm in Hampshire county, Berkshire is far more rural and
conservative. I'm dead smack in the middle of Northampton. Whole
different planet than Berkshire county. Do some looking based around
Northampton, Amherst, Hampshire college, Smith College, Mt. Holyoke,
and you'll get a much clearer picture of here. 30 years ago there was
some semblance of balance, that's long gone.
Rachel Maddow who's now on Air America was here first and is typical,
and actually about in the middle of the left here.
I'm an information junkie, I go nuts without it, but as you said,
there are times I just have to ignore it all and take a break.
I first learned about most of these issues from the local protesters,
dating back to when I was a kid. You'd be hard pressed to find a
single month here without a protest odf some sort, and most are really
reasonable, and I enjoy attempting to discuss issues with them most of
the time, but even Lafferty gave up on the core activist morons here,
and he's not exactly on the right.
