Funny how that trick works.
"Small-government" state Republicans take over Flint, fuck things up ruining the lives of tens of thousands over a few dollars a day, and when their pants are firmly down around their ankles... "further proof that the state never does anything right."

Most of us come to our conclusions and make the evidence fit (and not the reverse). If you run an experiment with possible outcomes 'A' and 'B', but both outcomes reinforce one's philosophy/model, then they aren't really testing one's model. I am not trying to advocate one way or the other, just commenting on how little reality actually changes people's perceptions.
