And the forces pushing it there have been morphing since the Sixties, from Nixon to Reagan, Bushes I and II, and the Tweetster. You will recall that all of them, under the auspices of economic freedom, found ways to withhold federal money for the poor, the sick, the disturbed. The needy of all stripes were systemically thrown off the bus, out of the lifeboat, or onto the streets to fend for themselves. &#8220;<em>No sir, no more aid for &#8220;welfare queens,&#8221;<\/em> those single moms with five kids, ripping us off for another pack of cigarettes as they tried to house and feed a family. Seriously, that was a <em>thing <\/em>in Gov. Reagan&#8217;s California in the late 60&#8217;s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Indeed, the sixties began an ever-evolving system of reactionary <em>&#8220;backlashes&#8221;<\/em> against interlopers who might cross unmarked class boundaries, including a range of <em>heterosexual, homosexual,<\/em> <em>ethnic, gender, or self-sufficiency <\/em>credentials. And let&#8217;s include the many ways White Republicans responded to the Obama Presidency. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fast forward to today, and we see the Tweetster slipping out of the many sets of cuffs he so richly deserves because he is self-entitled to Special Privileges, like grabbing women by private parts, stripping rights from everyone who is not a white, Christian, America-born male, and bending every rule, every principle, every guideline of integrity to acquire one more penny, bit of influence, advantage, or perk, even from <em>(perhaps &#8220;especially from&#8221;) <\/em>those who have been <em>disadvantaged<\/em> by the same rules that have <em>advantaged them.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We see this across the Red States and across the world in countless local hierarchies of &#8220;star-bellied sneetches&#8221; vs. &#8220;plain-bellied sneetches.&#8221; It&#8217;s the way we are or what we become if we don&#8217;t have an effective magnet in our moral compasses.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This all comes up tonight after attending yet another unproductive ferry committee meeting with County Public Works, which conducts the financial levers of costs vs. fare revenues in a consistently opaque way. So tonight&#8217;s insight is that, &#8220;ah, we finally get it that when you serve Whatever Company, public, private, or government, your loyalty is increasingly <em>to<\/em> <em>the Company<\/em> and its parochial interests, not to some broader principle of service or equity or fairness or justice to, you know, the collective welfare. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is always a disturbing disappointment to encounter these petty or self-serving loyalties, evasive rationales, or deliberate prevarications in a dialogue aimed at achieving a common purpose. So we need constantly to distinguish in any particular moment when we are acting from <em>principle\u00a0<\/em>and when we are acting from <em>expediency. <\/em><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><script id=\"script-TMKFqaB4Tq5WJfkwvjOM1w\" src=\"moz-extension:\/\/60d213a1-c578-429d-b31a-d2ad0b61a991\/webauthn.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Hours Fridays 4-6 pm Saturdays 3-5 pm \u00a0 &nbsp; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ahh, more signs of spring&#8230; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; \u00a0This week\u2019s wine tasting Bodega Garzon Albarino \u201921 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Uruguay\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $15 Pale yellow with greenish reflections, this Albari\u00f1o is intense in the nose, with peach and citrus notes.
