So I live in Santa Cruz county. I think it is the second most liberal county in the nation, after San Francisco county (not counting what fraction of the population is registered democratic, but the extreme-ness of their viewpoints). Berkeley might be bigger than UC Santa Cruz, but it is highly diluated by being in the much larger Alameda county. We also live near Silicon Valley, a democratic strong-hold, full of highly educated and wealthy voters. People like my wife and me.

Last Saturday, I was working in the yard. With a six-shooter on my belt. And a shotgun leaning on the fence, right next to the shovels. The armament was a necessity, because I was digging out a rattlesnake nest, which was about 3 feet from our deck. We had already removed one full-grown rattler from the nest, and I wanted to make sure that there isn't a swarm of babies in there. Having a small child at home, baby rattlesnakes right next to the deck are a no-go. I got lucky - the nest was completely empty (other than a few lizards). Still cost me a few hours of digging followed by rebuilding the hillside against erosion, all with holster and a loaded revolver.

The life of a typical democratic voter. Who might start voting republican soon, because the people on this forum are telling me that I'm a nut, a retard, not a democrat, have penis size issues (strange, my wife never mentioned that), and so on.

The democratic party: With friends like this, who needs enemies.
