If that were all, I might have been able to stomach it. It was more than I could ever say, but for the most part it was the plastic, mindless, groupthink, shallow, pseudosophisticated, conformist, Leftist, stiffling, oppressive, suffocating, decadent, self-congratulatory, basically mendacious atmosphere that bored me into a panic.

There are wonderful people in Marin, though they are vastly outnumbered, and it's beautiful. But I couldn't wait to get out. I'm so glad I did.

I worked for the Republican Party. Every time I put up a "Vote Republican" sign, it was jerked down fast, no matter how inaccessable. When I put them up late at night, they were down by morning. This was not true in San Francisco; the signs stayed up.

At the gym, the conversations overheard were mostly self-congratulation. "I took my kids to _________. I wanted them to know that things everywhere are not like they are in Marin."

There is so much that I love about Marin, but that Leftist attitude is just too oppressive.
