I said what I thought, hoping to stir up conversation and loosen people's thinking--and to bear witness to what I saw in the 1960s. Our governors and legislators were nothing but democrats until Kennedy's and Johnson's victories. Then something funny happened. The local republicans began thinking they couldn't bear to lose, ever again, and that idea morphed into a radical rationale which has come to include sacred purpose and ends-justify-means. Since then we've had almost nothing but republicans. Our present governor is a democrat, but there isn't much difference. This state hasn't seen much progress in 40 years.<BR/><BR/>Another thing I thought about is how much things have changed with how national tragedies are handled. If Lincoln were assassinated today, guys in suits would swear everyone in the theater to secrecy, burn down the theater, blame it on a foreign enemy and start a war. Back then, everyone knew who did it and why, and the perpetrators met swift justice. Story over. Nothing about the Kennedys, Iran-Contra, 9/11 or Osama would surprise me. But holding back information lets loathsome people make their own excuses for doing loathsome things, and they don't care that people know they're self-serving liars.«—U®Anu§—»https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044248315262502099noreply@blogger.com
