Perhaps, but it's gone on for generations. Are you old enough to remember the "Vote for the Crook! It's important!" bumper stickers? For those not familiar with the background, it's a reference to the gubernatorial race between Edwin Edwards (convicted felon and known outright thief) and David Duke (former? Ku Klux Klan grand wizard). Yes. Those were our two choices to lead the state: a criminal and a segregationist. How do you end up in this predicament? It's not overnight, and it's not one person or group. While the bumper stickers were trying to make a joke out of a bad situation, I found them emblematic of the sad situation and became disgusted with it all. So I did the only thing in my realm of control, and I left.
