"... a despairing view for sure, but there could be an upside, a silver lining... if California is indeed a failing or already failed state, it may in that fallen condition act as a cautionary tale delineating the awful fate of a society left to the mercy of an untrammeled liberalism... of course I don't mean that in the pentecostal sense of evil sinners receiving their just deserts... though I can't entirely insist that that is not the case at all... but in a broader and less end of days light you can certainly see the outlines of a story that seems to want to say that a wise liberal would beware of what he wished for... but then I guess a cynic might ask where are you gonna find a wise liberal?... wisdom being by its very nature unaligned, ideologically speaking... so forget what I said, no silver linings..."
