10/7 Why is the Bay Area 80% on No on recall? What makes the Bay Area
different? Education (cuz we're smarter than everyone else)? Cuz
of our Cal/StanfUrd education? Cuz of our jobs? I just don't see
a strong connection in any of the above I mentioned. -confused.
\_ Gays and hippies. The people in Silicon Valley are alarmingly
to the right like good businesspeople tend to be.
\_ right. and that's why SV voted down the recall and for Cruz?
\_ I was referring more to the business leaders.
\_ Groupthink. Most who want to think differently have already left;
there's no good reason to stay in the Bay Area when you can get
it better elsewhere.
\_ Education has nothing to do with it. The BA is just very left.
You don't need to look any deeper than that. This is a place where
people talk openly about how "all republicans are evil and I hate
them all!" on a daily basis even though most of them never met a
republican. Maybe they have a friend who mismarked a ballot once.
\_ People who are highly educated tend to vote Democratic.

\_ Academia is full of leftists. I'm not at all surprised they
vote left. Where's the shocker?
\_ We spend our money on books and whiskey, they spend it on
boob jobs and movies. Who do you think is smarter?
\_ Who is 'we' and 'they'?
\_ Don't be confused. That's what I expected. BA people are
well-informed. Most realized the problems in CA are not all because
of Davis. These are national problems.
\_ no...there are too many women in the BA.
\_ I believe it was nearly split for women voters. Something
like 52:48 or so last I saw. It certainly isn't because
BA people are brilliant and open minded. I've been around
and never met a bigger bunch of self righteous knuckle
draggers anywhere. It's ok to be arrogant if you really
*are* better than everyone else. The people in the BA are
no better than elsewhere; worse because they think they are.
\_ Yes, BA residents are a lot more well educated than the residents
in the south (Latinos, blacks, and Korean gangs). In fact we
make more $ and have more prestigious jobs and most of us own
properties that are valued at least 2X as high as the properties
in the south. In general, South is full of hicks and North rules.
History has proved this over and over again. Confederates are
hicks and Unions rule. South Americans are hicks and North
Americans rules. South Hemispherians are hicks and North
Hemispherians rule. Southern Californians are hicks and Northern
Californians rule. So yes, we are vastly SUPERIOR and hence
Hemispherians rule. So yes, we are vastly SUPERIOR and hence
we are really better than everyone else.
\_ No more educated or rich than people in, say, Orange County.
What did you think when houses cost more in the South, which
was the case forever until recently? In fact, for equivalent
we are really better than everyone else.
neighborhoods I think they still do. |
