Well, it's just speculation, but...misterwunderfulAugust 10 2006, 21:28:38 UTC
The oh-so-currently-popular republican party, who thrives on the low IQ and high gullibility of our moronic citizenry, has abandoned their old libertarian philosophy for one of fascism, EXCEPT in the cases of taxation and welfare. They still refuse to increase taxation and give to those in need, because their convenient interpretation of Christianity is devoid of the consideration of those less fortunate than oneself... a level of kindness that is present in absolutely EVERY muslim culture, even though our government tells us to overlook that.
Four more things:
Money given to LA pisses off everyone in the state, except for those who are in LA. The same shit happens, here. Instead of money going to fix the giant potholes on 294, or going to replace the disaster-area ghettoes of Chicago with well-planned neighborhoods, the money goes to repave a perfectly clean and flat highway in my part of the state. It isn't a question of severity, but of taxation without representation.
Nobody wants affordable housing near his place of residence, and it is fought into nonexistence.
After telling a long, firsthand account of the California of the early sixties, my mother informed me of the truly irreversible and crushing force that illegal immigration has become to the foundations of the California economy. They can't even get electricity to the wealthy, so there's no chance that the poor are even on the top 10 list of agendas for the state to consider. Man, I had no idea what that state was like in the sixties, aside from one special that I saw on the tenderloin district at that time, and another that I saw on the buildup to the Watt's riots, and neither one portrayed the state as being anything other than INFINITELY BETTER, if those were the ghettoes.
The federal government can't help, because we have a war destroying our economy, and aside from Grenada and the Dominican Republic, we have lost EVERY WAR, since 1945. I include the Persian Gulf conflict in that list, because it never ended.
But hey, you know all of this stuff, so I don't have to tell you anything. "As a society," huh? Well, I see this country as being too big to be considered as one society. The big problem is that the culture of the considerate corresponds much too highly with the culture of the lower and middle classes, in a nation undergoing inflation. Were Clinton allowed to run for 4 consecutive terms, instead of just 2, there would have been peace and consideration, by now, but that just isn't how things worked out.
