I know you guys have touched on this before, but I wanted to ask you about your experiences being fairly liberal, non-religious, and in some cases gay or Mexican people who were raised and/or reside in the great state of Texas. I ask because I live in northern Michigan, I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and while most people aren't blatant racists or homophobes, most people in these areas have really conservative values and would really prefer to only have white people around. For example, I know almost everyone at my workplace (an engineering and manufacturing firm) will be voting for McCain, even though many of them are young enough and educated enough to know better. This is one of the reasons that I tend not to socialize with people at my work. One of my co-workers, who I probably like the most out of anyone here, said not long ago, "I guess I'm just too religious to ever vote for a Democrat". So I guess my question is, if all this sounds kinda familiar, how do you deal with it, having different social, political and religious beliefs than basically everyone around you?

Yes it will. I have one stuck pixel that will not be un-stuck. I am this close to selling my monitor on ebay and buying a new one. I've only had it for 4 months. It consumes me.

Alan Moore is British. The DC series Eli was thinking of is Kingdom Come. Joel, there has only been 1 X-Men crossover in the past 10 years (last year's Messiah Complex). And it was fucking awesome.
