Yesterday, I was talking to a particularly close minded individual who asked me if was difficult growing up on such a conservative coast. I asked him to elaborate on what he meant and he said, "You know, all the conservative jerks, you can't smoke pot there you know." I'm guessing that he was referring to the fact that Marijuana is practically legal in California. I mean any "sick" person and go out and get a card allowing them to legally purchase weed. In other aspects, the east coast is massively more liberal than the west. For one big thing, marriage is legal for all in both New York and my home state, Connecticut. I know that this is a sore point among many in San Francisco due to the recent failed passing of Prop. 8, but the fact of the matter is, same sex marriage is legal in many of the states on the east coast. I would argue that this bill alone makes the east coast somewhat more liberal than the west coast.
