Can you be an old hippie without being aged? :-)
But I'm glad you concede that liberals HAVE souls.......!
The word comes from Old French, and originally meant "pertaining to a free
man". Its very root means "free".
So why is it that in the land of the free, many people seem to like
freedom for everything except thought, and consider "liberal" to be a
dirty word? This baffles the rest of us, many of whom tend to accept,
more or less, the definition of the Oxford Dictionary (original edition),
which states:
"Of political opinions: Favourable to constitutional changes and legal or
administrative reforms tending in the direction of freedom or democracy."
Surely this is what all Americans want? Isn't it? So what's wrong with
being liberal?

A "little town like Berkeley"! Shel, you make it sound like some dorp

towns in a country with reputedly the best universities in the world.
It would be surprising if it didn't have lots of wonderful things
going for it.

It's a small university town, filled to the brim and overflowing, with
aged old hippies and *far* left liberal souls...
They even made Angela Davis a professor. Go figure.

Hi Paul ...
Your comment reminds me of the time I went into a highly-regarded
restaurant in St. Louis. I saw that there were some fish dishes on the
menu and I asked the waitress if they prepared fish well. She
enthusiastically replied that they "sure did!" When the fish arrived
it
was terribly overcooked. They sure did it "well."
It just boggles my mind how a little town like Berkeley can have so
many
good labs and technicians (not to say we don't have our share of places
that process and print film well <LOL>)
