On Liberal Blindness
Part of the reason I am sensitive to things like this is because of the summers I spent in in Boulder, Colorado, working at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
For those of you who have never been to Boulder. In many ways, it is the most liberal place in North America. Not for nothing is it nicknamed the People’s Republic of Boulder. Don’t get me wrong, I love it there. Bike paths as far as the eye can see, falafel everywhere, and hot hippie chicks. Oh, and panhandlers who say “Can I have some money to buy acid?”. That’s truth in begging and it usually worked on me.
It is, however, a lily white place where the son of a CU coach gets jacked up trying to play basketball. So I try to pay attention to more than rhetoric and look closely at the environment. Yeah, I guess I’m tooting my own horn a little bit.
I’m done now.
