Here's a fucking thought: Let Californians decide what works for California, let Texas decide what works for Texas, and the rest of you STFU

But feel free, when the shit hits the fan, to vote with your feet. As long as you remember why you did. I know I do.

Instead we have "non profits" from CT filing lawsuits against charter schools in Louisiana. This is fucking insane.

But no, we all have the most deeply held convictions that if not for us, we'd see the return of slavery and/or mandatory child molestation.

Here's the deal: you are not the savior of Mississippi, and you are not the savior of Detroit, The people there determine that.
