Oregon and Washington are weird states. They fascinate me. :allears:

I've heard Oregon, geographically, is one of the most backwards redneck states in America. I wonder how it feels to be right wing living in a fixed blue state. Portland, though liberal, is primarily white isn't it? Oregon sounds white as gently caress.

It's not just the hippies, I think Oregon has a larger than normal contingent of faith healing types. I know they keep getting dragged to court after their kids keep dying of easily preventable stuff.

Pseudo-science on the left is often overlooked. It's pretty interesting. Conservatives are associated with Young Earth Creationism and climate change denial, whereas liberals have their share of New Age medicine/mysticism, marijuana as a magic cure for ______ Disease, anti-GMO, etc.

I'm Northern Californian. One notable thing was a proposition to label GMO products. I voted "Yes." People have the right to know regardless of their harm - crazy pseudo-science paranoia aside. Any good sources on this issue, by the way? Gibberish takes up most discussion.

I think that's the best description of Oregon I've ever read.

Edit: if West Virginia was also filled with jaw-dropping natural beauty.

Shout-out to Crater Lake! Visiting it was the only time I drove up to Oregon. Spectacular park - not to mention the scenic drive on Highway 5 which I'm pretty sure passed by Volcanic National Monument on the northern edge of Cali.

I think Crater Lake is like 300 miles south of Portland, but man I need to see that city to believe it. :psyduck:
