What's sad is that the US used to be the vanguard of modern civilization: science, technology, policies (making federalism work in a vast country like the US is an amazing achievement), and human wellbeing in general. And now we are debating common sense. Shame on the progressives.

It still is the vanguard of all those things, fortunately. The good news is that it seems the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way. For example, last night San Franciso booted the progressive soft-on-crime DA. This mirrors a trend in other progressive bases too. The mid-term elections will at this rate represent a chastising of the progressive left. Good riddance!
