Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
The Seattle Syndrome
22Feb2003 Filed under: LinkageThis article tries to frame everything I love about Seattle into a negative light…which makes me love Seattle even more.
Consider Seattle, a city apparently locked in a death struggle with Berkley to become the undisputed epicenter of anti-Americanism and radical egalitarianism…. Call it “The Seattle Syndrome,” a self-deluded ego trip of hyper egalitarianism that so resents America for being a superior culture that it wants to humble Her a bit, bring Her down to one knee.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Oh, my god! What a freak! (Maybe I think that man is horrid and his opinions are horrid and the statements he makes about Seattle are horrid because I live in Seattle? )

Hey, don’t be surprised when a right-wing propoganda site has a right-wing propoganda article. *shrug* That’s like being surprised when Bush says something stupid.
