Look, I live in Columbus. Don't you think your own narrow view of this city as full of rednecks and bomb sniffing dogs on busses (oh puh-lease)pretty much defines intolerance and one-way thinking? It's not the third reich here, dude; you just need an enemy to prattle against. Wanting to move away is one thing, trying to paint your reasoning as because we're Berlin in the twenties just makes you look nuts. It's the most progressive, gay friendly town in the midwest, and those statistics are everywhere. You're the only one I know who sees Columbus Ohio as being overrun with Homeland Security and intolerance and presumed hatred toward your so-called "race" (again, only you see and hear these people who think you're Middle Eastern; everone I know you thinks you look Italian and nothing more.) Is it really everyone else who is wrong? Life is full of drama enough on it's own. Settle down.
