[Haiku Guy]

I am not that familiar with Oregon, but it strikes me as odd that the state government has adopted Hippy-Dippy as the theme for a major government program. Do they have rainbows and sunbursts painted all over the DMV out there?

One benefit of this fiasco is that it is damaging the Hippy-Dippy brand. It should be clear to even the lowest of the Low Information Voters that these guys are not ready for prime time. It will also be very instructive when the rainbows and unicorns are put away, and the naked coercion behind the facade is revealed.

I live in Oregon and geographically most of the state is red. Unfortunately, Salem, Eugene, and Portland are the highest population centers and are liberal enclaves. Go east of the Cascades and you are in conservative country.
