They keep referring to our democracy. That is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. They did not like democracy, because the people “voted themselves bread and circuses.” They were trying for a form of government where wise & knowledgeable leaders guided the people to what was good for them and everyone else. They intended that subsequent generations would be educated to make the system self-sustaining.

Off-hand, I’d say they failed to set things up correctly so that it would work that way. Maybe that’s simply because we’re actually ungovernable, or maybe they just really messed things up. I don’t know, and I don’t think I have any idea how to fix things anymore.

I know that progressive educators in the 1890’s intended to raise wise and educated students, and some others Prussian-style good factory workers, and as far as I can see, both groups failed miserably. I will vote my conscience, and do what I can do, and I guess we’ll see how things go.

My question for you is, how, EXACTLY, do you think we can prevent this? How would you go about stopping it? Do we need to start over, let things get burnt down, kill off the burners and looters, and start over, or what? Inquiring minds what to know!

There is a huge windmill farm in Calif state Hwy 58 between Mojave & Tehachapi.

It has been there for at least 35 years.

I drove past it so many times, I cannot count.

I NEVER saw all those windmills turning-—even when there was hardly ANY wind.

BY now, I suspect that the blades are beyond their expire date and it isn’t even safe to run the windmill.

NOW—Newsom wants no car/truck except electric ones sold after 2035—probably long after HE EXPIRES-—and the state currently cannot keep the lights on.

I also don’t understand:

I have been told that the cars require 240 volts for charging.

Most homes have 110. Some have 220. Where do they get 240???

How about all the millions of miles of power lines????
The millions of transformers?

Can they hold up & carry all the power demand that will happen???

When it ALL breaks down-—THEN WHAT???

AT LEAST 3 in California. 2 in Nevada.

You forgot all the PARTICIPATION TROPHIES......

Split Nevada into EAST & WEST. ONLY the western edge—Reno & Las Vegas is Liberal...the rest is Conservative.

I did indeed.

I’ve said since Trump was elected, he will be the last Republican President elected. So much hate for our President that Hillary lost, coup didn’t work, impeach didn’t work so they will now put in a plan that ensures their total control over our country within the next 4-5 yrs.
