I've been trying to be good. Ever since the voters of this state overwhelmingly decided against a state constitutional convention in 1997, I've tried to avoid writing about state government. By voting against the convention you all voted against meaningful change, so I just figured I ought to shut up and find someone new to mercilessly pick on. No one, at least no one fun, so I've just been bumbling along avoiding state politics and boring you all with overly philosophical paranoia. Ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance is the bliss a mosquito feels just before it becomes a windshield stain.
I gotta switch back to political paranoia. You see, it's the arrogance. Just think with me here a minute. Long about six months ago those of us who still feel connected to the political system cast our ballots in the state legislative races. We few did our part, then buzzed away.
