The election results in San Francisco and California clearly show that the future holds in store for us.  Finally, so many people's incomes, power bases, unions, organizations and businesses are supported either directly by government money, or by way of legal directives and government regulations, that they dare not jeopardize their livelihoods and income security by returning responsibility and freedom back to the populace.

We have finally gone over the hill and it is too late to ever go back.  There is simply too many on the dole (existing on government regulations and income) now.  They outnumber us and there is no way to ever change them.

The decay of America's morals is directly tied to all aspects of our legal and legislative system.  The head on the fish has rotted and now progressed into it's body cavity.

We have finally gone over the hill and it is too late to ever go back.

In the long run, democracies just cannot survive. Benefits can be voted in, but can never be voted out. Once a tipping point occurs (as it has in France & Calif), the society/culture will eventually collapse from its own non-productive weight, to be followed by tyranny. At some point in the far future, a revolution will occur, a republic will be established, and the long cycle towards decline will begin once again.
