Beyond Post Traumatic Stress

Today as I was sitting in our admissions interviews (we interview every candidate) I came to the conclusion that I've become much more nationalistic after living here....I am not sure how to explain it but I've always felt that I was open-minded. But now, something is happening to my brain (and I don't think it's heavy metal poisoning---really) and I'm almost frightened or ashamed to admit it. I have never felt this way about any of the other places I've been to and I don't think it's just a consequence of living here....more...I need to explore this...other wise I'm fearful I'll come back to Pennsylvania and seek to join the Tea Party Movement!
