Prevailing Tolerance For Lies
The young people (who I thought were smart enough not to fall for Al Gore's demagoguery nor believe his lies about how bad it would be to even partially privatize Social Security) failed to vote that way. Instead I sense a prevailing tolerance for politicians who lie and are divisive. A sense that theConstitution and our country's principles are irrelevant. The failure of our educational institutions is coming home
to roost.
The voters in Washington State went Democratic. Maybe it would be best if Microsoft WERE broken up. The United Auto Workers went solidly for Gore. Maybe they deserve him and his treaty to roll back energy use. (I will laugh when I hear about layoffs in Detroit.) In my view the glass is way more than half empty, and leaking fast.
