Ouch. It appears we live in a generation where liberal thought has won the day. Conservatives can win when the libs openly fail and the pubbies show a little brass (1994), and it appears that we can get on an upswing nationally when a crisis makes people question their comfy, easy-living liberal philosophies (at least as measured by recent polls).
But the basic tenor of our society and our politics these days is leftist. What a gag.
