Dear Mr. Rust: Liberalism is a mental disorder. Your letter makes a good case in point.
Some of the comments to this letter:
--Richard, I think your brain is rusty. Since when are citizens "well served" by having their right to vote on representaion removed from them? (centralmass)
--Dukakis? This is a joke, right Richard? Do you even remember the ineptness that was his governorship? (JR)
--If the law is passed and Gov. Deval Patrick does appoint Michael S. Dukakis to the interim seat warmer position the irony is unavoidable and almost laughable. It will be one unpopular governor filling the seat with another equally unpopular governor from 20 years ago. It will cynically prove that things haven't changed very much. (newshen)
--We have benefited from having a legislature that is 90% DemocRATic? How? Don't we have one of the highest, if not the highest, tax burden among the 50 states? How does that translate into a benefit of any kind? Aren't our legislators only slightly behind those of Illinois and Louisiana when it comes to scandal, fraud and deceit? How does that benefit us?
