I like to talk about the weird people here in the Portland area but I don't think they are much weirder than people elsewhere. I have traveled a good share of the US over the years and I think you find good and bad people everywhere. But I think the people of Oregon in the outlying areas of Oregon are very independent people and they work together when the need is there. So there are many good people in this state so please don't trash it.

So guess the point of this rambling is please don't give the Oregon people such a "bad" name. You will find all types of people in the world today, some good and some bad. Maybe more fitting the bad category than there was a number of years ago.
