Perhaps a return to sanity?

It may be a bit of wishful thinking here.  The outcome of the Houston election has me feeling a bit more optimistic than I was yesterday at this time.

When I read the news, one word pops up into my mind--- insanity.  You have a professor who shreds the Constitution, and calls it "oppressive" as justification.  Just exactly what this fellow had in mind as a replacement wasn't mentioned in the headline.  Nor could it be.  The Constitution is the organizing document for an entire nation.  If you get rid of it, you must have something to replace it.  Just exactly what is that?  Anarchy?  Dictatorship?  That's nuts.

That's two things.  The third thing is the markets.  There's nothing real there.  It has gone into cloud cuckoo land.  If you can't normalize rates because the market will crash, then what does that mean?  It doesn't mean prosperity has returned, but that is what is being reported.  Nuts.

Of course, you've got catastrophe in foreign policy.  The Middle East has gone berserk.  The refugees are spilling into Europe, and they are being welcomed by another leftist guided polity that is almost as crazy as the Mohammedans.   The left admires Europe so much that they want us to be more like them.  For the last nearly 7 years, we have been moving in that direction.  Not looking good.

Houston: an island of sanity in an insane world?  How long can it last?  Outgoing mayor and lesbian Annise Parker says Houston will be punished for its vote yesterday.  Who will do the punishing?  You ought to ask that question if you get the chance.
