Fine. But you seem to be saying that there's an equal chance of being a Liberal if you're born in Texas or Cambridge. Do you believe that?

Isn't the real implication that there's an equal chance you'll stray from the majority in each place?

Well, I don't know about that, but for argument's sake I'd be willing to accept it.
What I wouldn't accept is that every town has %35 Democrats, %35 Republicans, %10 Green, %20 non/other.
I'd expect different regions to have different percentages, based on region, race, economics, politics, social factors, etc. The point is your environment shapes who you are. Is the US your 'environment'? Maybe. I'd consider your immediate neighbours, schools, parents, newspapers more as youre 'environment' than a grander, national concept.
