It’s probably fine for Manhattan, collectivism instead of rugged individualism. Well, no, it’s not. But it’s their problem rather than ours. 

I was surprised to realize that I cared about New York City on 9/11. Maybe I don’t, still.

  1. But it’s their problem rather than ours.

    I disagree here. What's in New York doesn't necessarily stay in New York anymore than California foolishness stays there. It is our problem, also, if not immediately so.

    Regarding collectivism vs rugged individualism, I submit that collectivists neither have the numbers nor the ruggedness to challenge us outside of activist courts--which we'll have potsful more of if Republican foolishness gives up the current House majority (and likely the Senate majority, also), and especially should the Progressive-Democratic Party succeed in seizing the White House in '28 while retaining those Congressional majorities. We've already seen and still are experiencing the destruction the Obama reign wrought.

    1. As a Californian, who has watched so many people flee only to find the policies came there too, I could not agree more.

  2. You will be delighted to know that, after a lifetime of being a registered Democrat, I’ve switched my registration for the next election. There’s a Green Beret running here and I mean to vote for him in the primary; he was the one who was flying helicopters out of the Harley dealership during the recent hurricane. I don’t much believe in government, but he has earned my respect.

    2. You've always struck me more as a small-l independent than an adherent to any particular party, choosing a party only in order to participant in the important (as opposed to fringe party) primaries.

      That's not all bad.

    3. Yes, I’ve often preferred to vote twice against especially bad ideas than once for ideas I don’t completely support either.
