Wolf, you pose some very interesting ideas! I never actually thought about it in that context. But now that you say it, it makes perfect sense (half-baked or not.)

I always thought it might have been a combination of the unbalanced proportion of males to females and the extremely prevalent fundamentalist vigor. I don't know how else to describe it, so I hope this doesn't sound like an insult to anyone, but there are high emotions in this city, and much of the emotional tension seems to be like a dam holding a large mass of aggression. I have yet to visit a retail store and be greeted with sincere welcome. Most retail workers in this town treat me suspiciously, as I am sure they treat everyone. This may also be skewed perception because I am not yet completely at home here, but I have heard others comment on the lack of warmth.
