Heh, the talk of liberal cities reminds me of when I visited my sister-in-law in Kansas, and she told me she lived in a VERY liberal city, extremely out there. My brother had to explain to her that a few guys with long hair, and a few psuedo-hippies (people who wear tie-dye and have listened to the Dead) doesn't make a city liberal. All in all, I think that the real meaning of liberal (care for others) has been widely replaced with liberal meaning being able to just do what you want (sexually, artistically, etc.) Some of the most 'liberal' cities I have lived in have basically waged war on the homeless.
