New Neighbor. Old Wrong Ideas.

A new neighbor moved in across the street the other day. We’re thrilled. The folks that lived there were wonderful, but you always wonder, when a property sells, what you might get. Druggies? Loud parties?  He drives an NHP vehicle. That probably means no monkey business over there, and a bit of righteous authority in the neighborhood.

Ron went over and introduced himself yesterday and he got talking with the husband about the sorry plight of the public employee, budget cuts and hard times.

Husband - buff, cleancut, square jawed -  nods his head sympathetically, agreeing. He then proceeded to tell Ron that it was such a shame that “those welfare people” are bankrupting the system. Sigh.

Yup. The poor and uneducated have historically had such political clout that they can always bend the system to their will and mis-use it.

Jeeze, when will people just stop and examine at their own assumptions - and quit being pawns for the rightwing propaganda machine?

Sigh.
