<p>“Despite San Fran’s God-given natural wonders, it’s tough sorting out anything that makes sense from the godless politics/polity there which the media insists on selling us as cutting-edge policy. No doubt Rome claimed same for its ailing empire.”</p>
<p>This reminds me of stories from ancient times. Travelers would be warned not to travel to the next village because those in the village were godless baby eating murders and they would surely skin you alive. Those travelers who recognized fearful ignorance for what it was and would go to those next villages would invariably hear the same story, but this time about the people from the village the traveler had just left.</p>
<p>So from four school board members (three of who were subsequently voted out of office) we have hyperbola like “San Francisco values”, the fall of Rome, Frankenstein, “Reality-free zone”, tin-foil (Zap, that’s a sidecar driver thing, trust me, I know) etc. And of all of you who are outraged at these sad events, how many of you wrote the school board to register your complaints? Kudo’s if you did. Like voting, if you didn’t do your civic duty, why are you complaining? For the record, not a one of them replied to my letter.</p>
<p>Of course the rhetoric serves to identify an enemy which is necessary to inspire, unite, and mobilize the villagers. It’s a time honored ploy and one that no matter how many times a light is shone on it never fails to stir the ignorant. Death to San Francisco!</p>
