Be Careful of the One Party Government System

California is notoriously democratic.  Just like everything else in the universe, balance is required for long-term sustainability.  Call it the yin and yang, if you will.  We all think that our line of thinking is the superior way of operating.  Truth is, we need opposing viewpoints, beliefs and policies to keep things in balance and in check.  No party is completely right nor wrong. 

It's dangerous to get too entrenched into a political party.  Any government system that is over-represented in a single party should be your worst nightmare.  There's nothing to balance it out and it's doomed to collapse under its own weight.

Here's something else to ponder.  Young idealists tend to be very socialist.  After life has handed them their *ss on a platter their viewpoints change over time and they become more conservative.  Just look at political parties and their age base.   

Don't dismiss people who have rotated around the sun several times.  They have witnessed and experienced a lot more than somebody who has not really lived life yet but want to think they have all the answers.  If we cave to the thinking of youngsters we will be letting teenage-like thinking rule.  Dangerous.  The parents reigning the teenagers in are necessary, but of course, are seen as evil, mean, and out to ruin everything when in fact they are not. 

Think about that when voting.  I dare you.
