Last night watching the elections results, I felt I was watching from another country--a soon to be third-world country if we cannot learn, if we cannot put pride aside and admit our ideological values have skewed dangerously, arrogantly, out of control. As conservatives took over the house, as democrat after democrat fell, Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown made it out of the fire unscathed. Even Nancy Pelosi can survive in California's government.
Will California ever learn that misplaced pride has no place in the voter's booth? There is only room for oneself and their conscious. However, my state has yet to grow out of its adolescent rebelliousness, and I can only hope its wake up call does not come too late, that it is not the call parents of such adolescents dread... total, bloody, destruction.
