When I lived in the Midwest, the predominant attitudes about politics, religion, personal liberties and other broad categories were conservative. To say I was in the minority in almost any setting in my rural community would be accurate.
The move to California changed the complexion of my surroundings in many ways. I've been here long enough that I take it for granted, and I often assume that my fellow Californians fall in line with my views. Turns out the guy next to me in class is a fervent Second Amendment supporter.
This serves as a reminder to talk to, and listen to, those who people my world.
