Thank you, okcguy! Your words are very sweet and have put a smile on my face. Perhaps you, goodpasture, and I can meet for a large cup of liberal coffee soon.

I am non-religious, gay-friendly, very socially liberal, democrat/progressive, volunteer-minded, love a good civil-rights protest, etc... I know I'm a lamb in the lions den (teasing!), but family is important to me, hence the move.

Advice? Suggestions? Thanks!

Actually, locate yourself near one of the Universities and you should find what you are looking for. For SOME reason, liberalism is close to education...........
lol, You wouldn't know by who Stillwater and Norman vote for U. S. president.

You should really seek counseling for that complex you are displaying.

Kate, Please let me assure you that alphamale is NOT your typical Okie. He must be an import, perhaps from Kansas or, gasp, from yankeeland.

As Goodpasture said ... let us know when you get here.

No, no, no Kate. You don't understand.

Those self proclaimed neo-cons, who are SO against government interference, won't give up until all THEIR opinions are legislated and everybody has the art of bible thumping perfected.

Get with the program, would ya?

And the liberals won't give up until their big government, Godless opinions are legislated as well. What's your point??
