Don't mind Reactionary. To him, anything that's not, well, reactionary is socialism.

Trader Joe's is great. My wife and I lived in CO and TX within walking and biking distance of Whole Foods. We moved to Mobile and my wife came home crying after visiting the nearest grocery store. We're getting used to it though.

That wasn't really directed at Reactionary, it was more so a general comment. I wish I could explain to people that America will never be a socialist nation. I mean, to an extent, there are socialist programs, but we will never have complete socialism.

Then you have not followed some of the controverse around WholeFoods and their claim to local organic produce:>)

I've been browsing the California threads, and they talk about something called "tri-tip". Is that just a Cali. thing, or am I just stupid because I've never of heard of it?

Weird. I grew up eating tri-tip and assumed it was another cut of meat everyone knew. According to wikipedia and its indeed originally a Cali thing.

Come on to Alabama. I live in Mobile, Alabama, which is lower Alabama, which is close to the AL coastline and Pensacola, Florida, but, from my experience, there are some pretty decent people here, especially in the education scene. Perhaps there is a little "closed-mindedness" elsewhere, but it's best to learn from people who have different views whenever possible. A good conversation with someone with a radically different, yet justifiable, point of view may allow one to see another's perspective more clearly. In time, it may help expand one's own view.

I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa and graduated from UA...thank heavens the whole "freshman live on campus" deal was instituted after I passed that point.
