"Every law and every election is useful. We were promised that criminals would stop using firearms in Washington State. In theory, criminals would stop using guns because they could not pass the new mandatory background check. In practice the new law didn’t stop crime at all. Armed robberies continue in Seattle. I’m sure you’re stunned, but armed bank robberies continue in Tacoma too. Crime didn’t even slow down after the initiative went into effect. Who would have imagined that violent criminals wouldn’t obey the next gun law!? I’m sure the naive Washington voter is shocked." ... |

as in bill gates, who hasn't spent a dime in his home state, but a little in New Mexico and impoverished border states plus Africa: failing badly in the latter, no projects met their goals which he admitted...trend as old as the hills, my 77yo relative was in high school when we sent agri agronomist professors to india, pakistan to teach them how to farm better: as soon as we left, they'd resume their ancient hand tool methods...the us army also experienced similar in vietnam trying to get the farmers to man, service and shoot from PT boats, but didn't even farm with tractors, used water buffalo, were mechanically clueless, boats would be inop when we left..

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
