I sat through a conversation this morning that has me scratching my head. It was between two women within the community I live in; they were discussing the plight of the homeless of California. One commented on how cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco were being overrun by the homeless and the streets were filled with filth and human waste.
The second listened and pointed out those very same problems were appearing in Seattle and there didn’t seem to be any hope to stop the rise of homelessness and the destruction of the city.
This conversation took place after they were talking about how those who are unvaccinated were creating an unacceptable risk to all those who were vaccinated and if everyone was vaccinated, we could end the pandemic, even though the vaccine has not eliminated the potential for infection and transmission.
It amazes me when educated people become so indoctrinated into a set of political beliefs, they fail to understand government policies are as likely to create a problem as they are to fix it.
For all practical purposes, California is a one-party state, and all its major population centers are controlled by that one party, yet for all the complaints about how poorly the state is managed its citizens are just like the two women, I overheard today. They are completely bewildered by how poorly things are going for the average person, and why those liberal policies haven’t created the promised utopia.
We have, for all practical purposes arrived at a state where critical thinking has been completely replaced by political loyalty and education by indoctrination.
If you doubt this, just listen to the people looking to be appointed to important government jobs and watch as they tap dance around previous statements where they are unwilling to actually stand behind their previous rhetoric.
“Then it doesn't matter which way you walk...-so long as I get somewhere.”
