Since we're already practicing necromancy here, let me throw out a random thought... are closed states more likely to produce lifestylers than open states? ("Closed" and "open" in reference to general conservatism, of course.) I'm tempted to think that closed states would. In open states, it's no big deal, you can be a weekend warrior or a bedroom kinkster - it's easy to take it lightly because there isn't any real effort involved. In a closed state, discretion is the better part of valor; if there are secret handshakes involved, it calls for a firmer affirmation and a more profound acceptance to be "bucking the norm". Your thoughts?
