Its probably where i live (near cambridge in the greater boston area), but ideas like that are fairly common around here, and anything near center is pretty out of place. My area is about on par with San Fran in terms of ideology, and is the area in which i went to college, my school demanded the American flag be taken down because it represented hate and oppression, but was ultimately stopped. I also did my "green to gold" there, but wasnt allowed to do any military studies on campus, and had to commute about 45 minutes away to get to the ROTC unit.
