Grew up ridiculously poor but in a So Cal ghetto so I guess I was never overly exposed to cultural conservatism. Been in the PMC for the last 15 years and living on the other side of the country. Long story short: I have no friends. The working poor who I identify with more (I suppose) are usually too culturally regressive and rednecky for my taste. And, I can't stand being around the middle crust manager types I work around. In many ways, I see no help for anyone.
