A little of both.
You tend to do what the people around you do. If I'm in a religious person's home I'm going to act differently than I would in a rowdy bar.

Of course they don't want the people in deep Red States to have access to new ideas.
Got my aunt's rotary phone in the closet.
I have two. Ginger beer tastes great, and it's helpful if you've got a cold or stomach ache.

I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it's just black glass. Inside it's all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.
Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new
Death by a thousand cuts?
The straw that broke the camel's back?
