That would be a lot of rivetheads.  I won't say "all," but I still expect
the majority of goths to be leftist.  Of course the "Pittsburgh" is as
significant as the "goth," since my experience tells me that goths in a
given city will still reflect the city's culture in some way.  Pittsburgh
in general (the "metropolitan" part at least) is pretty left.

And although military are generally right, there are lefties too, probably
heavily among the former goths!  My evidence of this is more anecdotal
(Air America's interviews with such servicemen, my own brother's accounts)
but army need not always imply right-wing.
