Contrarian Confessions

I've noticed that as I anticipate my move to San Francisco my views have been skewing more conservative / conservative apologist than usual.  It's not that I'm becoming Republican; that would be ridiculous.  Rather, I seem to be unconsciously prepping my internal devil's advocate in anticipation of being immersed in a much more liberal environment.  I fully realize that this is conclusive evidence that I am a broken and perverse creature.
