The fix is in
Robert — (archived)

The discussion's reached a point where I can say that I agree with you without changing my own views. It needn't be binary--I can wish for a little wisdom from the SC, you can wish for more responsibility and assertiveness at the local levels. If both our wishes are granted, we'll be happy as pigs rollin' in...well, it would be ever so nice, wouldn't it?

Sometimes dealing with all our problems is like wrestling jell-o, and it can seem like if we address one here, a problem over there will get out of our control. As if we can have only one thing go right at a time. Maybe it comes from too much black-and-white thinking. In this case, instead of trying to identify the one thing that's broken and figuring out the one fix, it might be better if we allowed as how there are multiple problems involved in this mix and multiple solutions will be more effective.

I'll fix the Supreme Court, and you fix local communities. Deal?
