In a world where everyone is mad, sanity makes no sense. If we are to have any hope of saving our schools, our city, our county, we must bet big and take chances. We will need to take actions that in a sane world would seem foolhardy. We really are in a life and death struggle against the climate, the economy, and a political power structure that is increasingly estranged from the land even as it rushes to “protect” it.
Otherwise, those who can leave, will, and those who can’t, will watch the old ways die. 
When I lived in the People's Republic I ignored their insanity because "I loved the scenery." Now that I've moved to civilization I wonder a) how any group of people could have gotten so insanely stupid and b) how kalifornia has survived this long.
The tragedy seems to be that for every conservative that moves out of state, we get a dozen moon bat liberals.
