How did some cities(Chicago, New York, Phili, St Louis, LA, SF) and some states (IL, NY, PA, CA) get so screwed up? I mean where did they start to go wrong? Just wondering.

Yes, you are right. Forced busing really accelerated things, didn’t it? That is when the really great private schools in our area grew exponentially. And homeschooling. It’s when I left teaching in the public schools, too (even tho I had just started).

Massachusetts was once one of the more conservative states.But then the RATS figured out that the easiest route to office was promising taxpayer $$$ to the newly arrived blacks from the south.Word got out and more came.More welfare candidates,more taxpayer $$$,more votes.From that phenomenon came the concept of guilt-ridden trust funders who are also numerous here.

In this state the RATS couldn't be elected dog catcher with out these two groups.

I agree...

I almost wish we could become invisible. I still won’t fill out my census. I’m not going to answer questions that they can use to categorize me. I’ve left my bank that I have been at for years because last week I found out that they took bail out money. The VP told me that they were forced to...I just shook my head, and closed out my account.

You mean you wanna disappear from the radar?

Psychologically, de- individuation, AKA mob mentality. If you get a few people together, they will do and say things they would not normally do as an individual. If you are with a group of people, anywhere, and more than a majority of them do or say something you do not agree with, most folks do not speak up or argue their case. We are cattle, just going along with the herd.
