Re: Sex, Religion and Politics
Nah. Those few loud-mouths are becoming ostracised as I type.
Example: As we all know, EVERYBODY in the US is taking about cutting police funding, downsizing the cops, and other variations on the theme, right?
The Mayor of Oakland, Libby Schaaf, announced a new police budget today, which is quite a bit larger than the prior one. So everybody in the ultra-liberal Bay Area is bitching about it, right?
Wrong. A KGO (channel 7) news poll here in the bay area shows that about 78% of respondents thought it was NOT ENOUGH, about 14% thought it was just right, and a mere 8% thought it was too much. (And I must admit, I took great delight in the talking heads being obviously uncomfortable with the results ... that channel has been pushing for getting rid of most cops for years).
Remember, kiddies, just because one loon on the corner (or talking head on a news broadcast) is screaming, it doesn't mean that the vast majority of the population agrees with them.
