I've been following the thread 'Fuck the South'and I wondered as an outsider whether or not there is a East - West divide in the US as well i.e. the Califorian lifestyle as opposed to say the New York or Washington DC lifestlye and is this reflected in political views as well. As in other posts I've posted this is a genuine query and not intended at taking a pop at America, so can I have your thoughts please.
