This is...alarming

For the record, I really believe that a healthy, ethical business is a good thing. I really believe that everyone benefits from creating an environment that encourages healthy, ethical commercial enterprises. I have some skepticism about the alignment of my definition of "healthy and ethical" and that of most business leaders, though I tend to think many successful small businessmen would fit comfortably within my personal parameters.

That said, this scares me. Deeply. Revisionist restructuring of public space and public statements and visions of history in my life have always been most closely associated with the countries, political philosophies, and political leaders we, as a nation, have fought against, decried, and despised.

If Reich is reporting events correctly, this is...terrible.

Yes, those are the words that were going though my head with I put that word down. I just don't understand what they are doing and why the general populace (IE - the people that elect them) would put up with it.

Unfortunately I'm a democrat in a district that the republican candidate won by 562 votes (less than .3%). I don't like her politics (straight party line) and I don't think she is voting for the people and in particular the 49.9% who didn't vote for her.
