Is Austin more artsy & liberal than San Diego? Colorado? Pacific NW? East Coast?

Really? In the whole time you were here (however long that was - I think your latest story is that you were only here for just a few visits), you don't remember seeing even one person whom you would describe as a hippie, or as an artist, or as a liberal? I find that so hard to believe that I have no doubt that it's a deliberate lie. It's one thing to offer an opinion; it's quite another to simply lie about things in order to portray an Austin that does not exist outside of your odd agenda. I'm still not sure why you insist on doing that, but you've been asked many times and have never answered, so I guess we'll never know. Whatever the reason, I truly hope it gets better for you, because it just can't be healthy.

Oh yeah I forgot I did see liberals on 4th street. Sorry but that was really it. ha ha. But I don't remember seeing hippies or artists. Most everybody looked the same. It is kind of funny now that I look back on it. I don't know if +or- the poster has noticed it too.
