Thanks! And the gun grabbers will say, see - even the Red States have a high crime rate! Yeah, we do. Because of all the Black Democrats in our state. I am surprised it isn’t getting worse as the economy spirals down the toilet. How does your average negro afford $3.5o/gallon gas for their 20 year-old Oldsmobile??? That economic frustration is gonna blow, sooner or later.

It Takes A Village by Hillary Clinton.

Or the wallet contents of the villagers.

Just give The Great Society a little more time./S Bills passed in Autumn, 1964 to today. 34 trillion dollars in special welfare, food stamps, set asides, housing, education money and phones with deluxe plans. And counting.

I re-read the old LBJ speech and was shocked at the phony high mindedness of the platitudes and nonsensical belief in Government to solve all ills.

The Great Society.

The Great Society, the largest expansion of the welfare state since the New Deal, was the idea of President Lyndon Johnson. The primary goals of the Great Society were to eliminate racial inequality and bring an end to poverty. Johnson advocated massive new spending programs for things such as equal education for all, medical care for all Americans, urban renewal, combating rural poverty, and improving transportation.

....It is a place where man can renew contact with nature. It is a place which honors creation for its own sake and for what it adds to the understanding of the race. It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.
1964 Lyndon B Johnson speech:

But most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.

The catalog of ills is long: there is the decay of the centers and the despoiling of the suburbs. There is not enough housing for our people or transportation for our traffic. Open land is vanishing and old landmarks are violated.

Worst of all expansion is eroding the precious and time-honored values of community with neighbors and communion with nature. The loss of these values breeds loneliness and boredom and indifference.

Our society will never be great until our cities are great.
