Do you think our acting governor made a mistake in taking on the nurses in a political battle? Ah! Isn’t data fun?
That is what I hate about politics. The govenor was right to take on the nurses unions the problem is the sheeple don't understand the issues. I call it Homer Simpson politics (which is similar to Jedi politics). The sheeple say "nurses make me better, nurses good" I don't think the govenor once said that nurses were bad.
ReplyDeleteDirect democracy on an issue like this is bad because emotions take over were intellect on logic are required. That is part of why our country has established elitist liberalism as our form of government.
