There are three fundamental types of people in the world: 1) those who live to make things, fix things, create things, repair things, improve things; 2) those who simply can’t or won’t do any of the preceding; and 3) those who like to control groups 1 and 2. We are running short of the first group. We have a bumper crop of the second and third. As a society, we are in trouble. Civilizations decline when the first group falls below a certain threshold. One gets the feeling that we are near that cutoff.
To paraphrase our late president, “If you like your socialist candidate, you can keep your socialist candidate.” I would end with this warning to all the suburbanites and Millennials out there: if you like things in your life to function, if you like to eat at your local salad bar and not visit an E.R. later that evening, if you like trusting that the landing gear on your flight to Disneyworld will really lock in place when lowered, and if you like to ride Amtrak and not end your ride with your car on its side, then think very, very seriously about not electing that socialist – from the school board to the White House.
Things fall apart
