The result raised broader questions about the strength of labor groups, who had called hundreds of thousands of voters and knocked on thousands of doors. The outcome also seemed likely to embolden leaders in other states who have considered limits to unions as a way to solve budget problems, but had watched the backlash against Mr. Walker with worry.
Well no worries now.
It’s impossible to help those individuals who consistently vote/make decisions that are in total opposition to their own best interests. If this sort of occurrence was an aberration or perhaps just a few misguided souls with alarmingly poor judgment one could understand. But it isn’t. These kinds of insane self-injuring political decisions are being made by people everywhere. It is as though people have gone mad. Despite evidence to the extreme contrary the majority of people insist on voting into office individuals who act in the best interest of the rich and the powerful to the detriment of the rest of society and call it good and sane voting judgment. We all act as though there are two political ways to go, liberal and conservative, and that they are equal just different ways to handle the same issues. This is so far from the truth it is frightening. Liberal and conservative are not two ways to think about and deal with the same issues and goals. Liberal and conservative political parties have two completely distinct and separate goals. They are not different versions of the same politic. They are not just benign but different political choices concerned with the same ends. But the reality of politics, finance and government in the world today is so purposely convoluted and obscured that shedding any lasting light on the truth of it is as likely as catching a leprechaun. That’s why I’ve decided to just play video games.
