Yeah, maybe it is the Californians, but then again maybe not. Because when I was in SF last fall, Union Square was very crowded and yet not a single person made body contact with me at all.
Boston's streets are far less crowded usually and people still do not respect your personal space at all.

I usually motion my hand when someone is about to more or less assault me. Usually they get the hint.

I heard that if you talk to yourself then people give you all the space you need. They will in-fact go out of their way to stay away from you! I will have to try that sometime.

It does work, but you have to talk AND answer yourself. 
But my fear is what if I ask but I doesn't answer at all?

Mike what happens if you ask and you just don't know the answer.
Also it is usually apparent when someone is talking to themself. Try talking to God or just an imaginary friend. That will work well.

I'm thinking so! Ha!
I almost forgot to share what a heathen church I work for. See, for worship, all the backgrounds for the words had American flags in them. Then, we were led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag standing on our platform by one of our worship leaders who is in the military and being deployed back to Iraq next month to fight in the war. Then we watched a patriotic DVD which was followed by a sermon about freedom and our Pastor quoted Scriptures from more than one translation - even the Message - and not once from the KJV.
Oh, and I forgot, right before the sermon, one of the wives of a board member came up to the mic (invited by one of our pastors!) to share a word from the Lord.
So there you have it - we support our troops, we believe war is sometimes necessary, we allow women to speak in church, we pledge our allegience to that idol - the evil USA, we are patriotic and we don't live by the KJV and our pastors sometime use more than one translation of Scripture to make their point.
We must be on the verge of H-E-double hockeysticks...
