No

Lots of educated people in Western Washington.

OMG people are buying organic produce and drinking tasty beers. How can a normal person deal with this environment? Are people judging my eggplant? Why do I feel all this pressure to conform? Look at those guys over there and the beers they are drinking- they must all be EXACTLY THE SAME person because they are not drinking Coors. Look, two of them ordered the same IPA! ZOMBIES! Liberal zombies! AAAAH! RUN! Must... not... conform...

Now he's alone, bitter, angry and unhappy... and in Seattle.

Do you suppose any of this is connected to Treuphax's bad attitude?

Compared to where? There are lots of educated people throughout the world. Generally lower income people can't afford organic food because it costs so much. This doesn't mean they are undereducated.

You're a city boy, and the city is in your blood. It's the same with me. which us why I also didn't care for Seattle. I was in Seattle, and just did a contract out in California. I moved to Philadelphia a month ago, and I'm going to tell you I will leave thus place kicking and screaming. The Northeast is in my blood and I just fit in naturally with the vibe on this side of the country. if I had kids and a wife I would happily come back to Seattle. But again I'm a city boy to the core. You may need to come to Philly. it's a great historical city, people are so real, everyone is down to earth and sociable. You're 2 hours from NYC and can get there via train or bus. The megabus takes you there for like $15. You're also close to DC which has some of the best nightlife in the country. You're sad because Seattle isn't a real city. Come to the first real city in American history.

You are suggesting that net wealth and education do not go hand in hand ??

Everyone can afford to have better healthy eating habits!!

The "rest of the world"? Well, their governments have reigned in the multinational industrial agriculture entities, by banning GMO's and limiting herbicide and pesticide use.. So yes, lots of smart people in the world, especially where the are not so obese, have longer life spans, grow diverse open pollinated crops and do not use many outrageously expensive and unhealthy pesticides and herbicides.

Taco Tuesday's - Gotta get your Margarita on!
Wine Wednesday's - Self explanatory
Thursdays we all go hiking to prepare for the weekend of debauchery
Freaky Friday's (We all go to the clubs and get our groove on)
Sinful Saturday's (we all realized what we did Friday night and MUST outdo it just to prove we can)
Sunday Funday's - We all go out to brunch and attempt at curing hangovers by drinking more.

If you have kids that is totally fine. We can send them to babysitting in a group at a giant auditorium or let them run loose in a museum.

If your really not up for change then I suggest you move. David's coming to town and I'm not taking no for an answer.... WE WILL HAVE FUN!
This guy sure does have a fun and sunny disposition...

I'm all for a bit more sunshine to go with the rainbows...
