Pardonne moi, Governor Jerry Brown, but California is a cesspool and you are giving absolution to criminals.
Brown's smug 'burn it down and leave' attitude, together with all of the left, is based on the self-righteous belief that more than half of the country does not know what's good for them--and liberals and leftists do. They hate us for not aspiring to their glamorous and important lives, and then feel compelled to tell us how to live.
