Thanks, Jeff, for another good article bringing up so many topics we all see daily. I have watched this county for more than fifty years through the eyes of my family, and I have lived here long enough to know exactly what it used to be: safe, respectful, and community minded. What is happening now is not a minor shift — it is a collapse. And it is devastating to witness.
The tone of public behavior has become openly hostile. The vulgar signs, the screaming, the foul language shouted in front of children — this is not “activism.” It is indecency. It is adults modeling cruelty and rage for the next generation. Anyone who has lived here long enough knows this is not who we were. This is not how neighbors treated each other. And it is absolutely not how responsible adults behave in public spaces. I have never seen such anger and vileness anywhere I have lived before.
I am appalled by the way "national narratives" continue to be their rallying point are being forced onto our local community. People shout slogans but refuse to look at actual crime statistics. They cherry pick whatever fits their ideology and ignore everything else. They do not want truth; they want outrage. And they weaponize that outrage against anyone who disagrees. The hypocrisy is staggering. Have any of these people gone on ride-a-longs, been a first responder, walked in the shoes of police officer, had a gun pointed at them, been shot at, been assaulted. My guess would be no. They are just lemmings who cling on to anything against civility. And somehow, they make themselves a “victim”, the perpetual “victim”. Sickening.
Meanwhile, crime is no longer something you hear about — it is something you live with. The police scanner says it all. And on my small county road alone, I have seen hand to hand drug deals, found baggies of narcotics in the street, had mail stolen, and dealt with drug impaired strangers pounding on my door. We have had search warrants, foot pursuits, and repeated law enforcement activity. This is not “fear.” This is reality. I moved here to retire in peace, not to watch my neighborhood turn into a corridor for drug traffic and crime.
And now we are losing good families. A neighbor — a small business owner, the kind of person who strengthens a community — is leaving the state because of what is being taught in our schools, including policies that allow boys into girls’ bathrooms. And that is not the only family I know, there have been quite a few others that have packed up and left. When families like that decide they’ve had enough, it should be a wake up call for every leader in this county. Perhaps, the “leaders” in this county are cheering for this as well minded folks are leaving and be replaced with the likes of the LWV …etc.
Instead, we see the same small circle of people sitting on board after board, recycling the same ideas, pushing more grant money, and raising property taxes as if that is a long term solution. It is not. It is financial mismanagement dressed up as progress. And to the average resident here, most don’t know of grants and the funding which flows into this county and those in charge, I think, rely on that lack of knowledge in folks. The conflicts of interest, the lack of transparency, and the insular decision making are unacceptable. A handful of individuals should not be steering the entire county while the rest of us deal with the consequences.
I have even begun to question whether I should stay. This was supposed to be my landing place for the rest of my life. It is heartbreaking to reconsider that.
But I also know this: the majority of people in this county are good, decent, respectful, and tired of being drowned out by a loud minority that thrives on anger and chaos. We are not vulgar. We are not hateful. We are not destructive. We simply want our community back.
Hope alone will not fix this. We must speak up. We must encourage every non voter we know to vote. We must make our voices louder than the small group that has dominated the conversation with hostility and negativity. Not through rage, not through protests, but through unity, determination, and civic participation. It takes a lot of work and it takes a village. And this is our chance to steer this county back and save it.
This county is worth saving. And it will be saved only if the good people who built it — and who still care deeply about it — stand together and demand change.
My thoughts, your words. I am sure many more agree.
In my 21.4 years of living, working, and paying taxes in Clallam County I had had enough. I just couldn't accept how it's changed, so I moved on. As beautiful as that area of the country is, at 65 and still enjoying my career, I was no longer willing to contribute my sanity or tax dollars to be waisted on what the "leaders" support. They have and are allowing the loud vulgor minority to thrive on the anger and chaos, while recycling the same ideas, pushing more grant money, and raising taxes as a long term solution. It's unacceptable, it's heartbreaking, and unstastainable. If change doesn't happen soon, it will be too late 💔.
LisaS, we just lost another tax paying productive citizen, I'm sorry you had to leave. I hope we win by voting for the people who will fight for what you had to run from. Wish us luck ; )
Jennifer, I am definitely supporting you from afar. I'm sorry I had to give up the fight. My sanity became more important. Listen up Clallam County Voters looking for change, DO NOT SIT STILL ~ STAND UP AND VOTE FOR CHANGE!
Jennifer, originally I thought that if more tax-paying, productive citizens left our state worthless county government would starve and the problem would be solved quickly. The bond ratings would be lowered and the cost of borrowing would be more expensive. Yet I realized that a fiscally defective county might qualify for federal grant money. So I commiserate and am also sorry.
As Dan Bongino likes to ask, "Is it bad enough yet?" Until a majority believes it is, change will not occur. I think we might be getting close to that point. Excellent post, CAS!
Psychologists know that we have two brains-- the emotional one and the later-evolved logical/reasoning brain. Both cannot operate simultaneously-- try talking logic/reason to a hysterical or enraged person. Revolutionaries know this and try to keep people in the emotional state-- hatred, fear, anger, to keep us from using our rational brains. Many liberals, after living in this mode for years, actually lose many of their logical/reasoning abilities, because they associate with people who also speak emotions. Just sayin'.
No One Important, that IMO is a very important subject. Emotions influence behavior and the REM dream cycle. Emotions not intellect sponsor major revolutions.
I shake my head in sadness, then turn red with rage. Allison Dingleberry's "believe the consensus" sign epitomizes a major problem. Grant whores perpetuate the man-made climate change BS that 500 million years of history proves to be untrue. Also, remember when Dr. Zelenko was the first physician to successfully treat Covid using hydroxychloroquine and zinc. The Fauci-led "consensus" was that it was useless and dangerous and, instead, promoted Remdesivir for $1000/dose, it is was useless and dangerous. The "consensus" among the idiots is that Trump is dangerous and should be assassinated, yet he is doing more for America and the American working class than the last dozen presidents, if not more. Well, the consensus is that Allison Berry is incompetent, highly partisan, and ineffective. Follow it, Allison, and resign!
Virginia is relating information from not just CC, but all over the country as to why people are suspicious and reluctant to vote. The details are eye opening! She cites research and statistics relevant to CC. A fantastic interview for anyone interested in how the system works. VOTE VIRGINIA SHOGREN 2026!!
Remember what this place could be? Medical care -- the major employer -- is going down the tubes and providers are leaving. They can't hire nurses or doctors fast enough and probably can't afford to keep them, anyway. Decent medical care (beyond primary care, if you have a provider) is 90 to 120 minutes away in Silverdale or Seattle. Local government is so focused on the usual liberal ideology, providing services for the homeless junkies, that it's not taking care of basic needs like business redevelopment, police protection and infrastructure. Just yesterday, PA sent sewage out into the harbor because the system couldn't handle 1/3 of an inch of rain. Clallam County in general and Port Angeles specifically have turned their backs on every opportunity -- what this place could be -- in favor of catering to the lowest common denominator. If I could sell my house today, I would. Time to bail before interest rates go up much more and our housing values go down any more.
St Luke’s signage and Modus Operandi of this “church” (term used loosely) is exactly why people have turned away from organized religion. People don’t want to hear about national news crap of wannabe thugs, they want to hear the WORD. Old-school Catholics don’t want to be involved in worldwide immigration NGOs pushing drugs and human trafficking. Traditional Jews don’t want to face persecution just for practicing their religion. The majority of Muslims don’t want the destruction of Israel. Churches are not always the answer. Participation in these religions certainly isn’t my forte with this sort of message.
This County is on the brink. Elections matter. Issues matter. The deterioration of services and social norms has its limits. In thirty eight days, we can make a dent in county politics. Vote and insure your friends and family vote.
An unholy alliance popularly refers to an alliance which is perceived as unnatural, unusual, or simply undesirable.
INDIVISIBLE HEADQUARTERS…...at….. ST. LUKE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH….
What are the true foundations of this church? I do not see any references to religion, rather, it is an employment list void of God or his teachings. Where are the words, Faith, Prayer, Kindness, Humility, Grace? Instead we have committees not fellowship.
How Indivisible Sequim Operates - A Coordinating Committee, consisting of designated individuals from each of the standing committees or groups, oversees and synchronizes IS operations.
IS now operates through six committees or groups:
• Communications – HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE: Skills, experience: copy writing, editing, graphic design, photography; website design and editing, management; public relations; social media; marketing including email marketing platforms
• Community Partnering – HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE: Skills, experience: community relations, networking; effective communications, public speaking; group discussion/conversation facilitation
• General Planning – HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE: Skills, experience: event organization and planning; equipment/logistics support; participation in non-violent demonstrations and protests; civil disobedience strategies and tactics; security/safety background; willingness and ability to commit to training and to providing safety and security support as needed
• Research & Education (2026 Election Taskforce) – HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE: Skills, experience: research and analysis tools, techniques in one or multiple political, economic, legal, or other academic/professional disciplines; effective writing, communications; electoral campaign involvement at national, state, or local levels; state and local government organizations, laws, and regulations
• Wellness and Resilience – HELPFUL KNOWLEDGE: Skills, experience: crisis or emergency situation management; emotional intelligence, group psychology, mediation; effective communications, group discussion/conversation facilitation
Organizations organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, educational, or other specified purposes and that meet certain other requirements are tax exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).
(1) Churches and religious organizations
Churches and religious organizations, like many other charitable organizations, may qualify for exemption from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3).
(2) Private foundations
Every organization that qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) is classified as a private foundation unless it meets one of the exceptions listed in Section 509(a). Private foundations typically have a single major source of funding (usually gifts from one family or corporation rather than funding from many sources) and most have as their primary activity the making of grants to other charitable organizations and to individuals, rather than the direct operation of charitable programs.
(3) Political organizations
A political organization subject to Section 527 is a party, committee, association, fund or other organization (whether or not incorporated) organized and operated primarily for the purpose of directly or indirectly accepting contributions or making expenditures, or both, for an exempt function
(4) Other nonprofits
Organizations that meet specified requirements may qualify for exemption under subsections other than 501(c)(3). These include social welfare organizations, civic leagues, social clubs, labor organizations and business leagues.
(5) Tax Exemption for Sales to Tribes (Of course being sovereign, there are other perks)
Fill out this form if you sell tangible personal property or services to tribal members, tribes, tribal enterprises, or a spouse of a tribal member with delivery in their Indian country. In this form, a buyer is a tribal member, tribe, tribal enterprise, or a spouse of a tribal member who buys tangible personal property or services from you. If a buyer meets the criteria in Section 2 below, the buyer doesn’t have to pay tax. A contractor for a tribe is also tax exempt on purchases that a seller/market place facilitator delivers to the worksite in that tribe’s Indian country.
And getting information from the NGO's is a challenge. To look for their tax returns and audits, they have to reach a certain threshold of dollar amount and the information is usuall a couple years in the past. Sending requests to NGO's for information, sometimes a reply, sometimes not....
We live in a society where experts and AI find loopholes in our laws and exploits them. We need a way to negate loopholes without the legal quagmire that we already have. Maybe AI can revise our entire legal system and eliminate unintended loopholes, and replace activist judges with fact-based impartial judgements. That-- done right-- would right many wrongs.
"emotional intelligence, group psychology" Oy Vey! jay ay ay! oh my God! Adding this to the children being brainwashed....I am just flabbergasted, going back to bed....
LWV was engineered to get unsuspecting women to join their group to be brainwashed by liberal radicals.This group reeks with hypocrisy they claim to be non partisan but support the democrats agendas-policies 'liars usually get caught it just takes savvy CCWdoggers to catch them.
A 2023 photo from Indivisible’s headquarters, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Sequim, shows the reader board memorializing George Floyd (Minneapolis), Breonna Taylor (Louisville), Ahmaud Arbery (Georgia), and Atatiana Jefferson (Fort Worth). ----------------- While an older picture by a little bit
PROOF Indivisible doesn't care one iota about CC citizens
HA! Of course, the local criminal cabal gleefully points to their so-called (rigged) "consensus" of opinions for folks to believe, worship and follow~! Many billions of dollars and countless Treasonous scumbags have been paid off and/or extorted to "follow the communists" evil plot to destroy America and even further enslave ALL Americans. So, anyone foolish enough to simply count the "opinions" of the Treasonously criminally corrupt mob would be immediately tricked into betraying America by following the very communists who are destroying America in the first place! The preponderance of "fraudulent opinion's" does not prove that the communist's fake news and fake science is true by ANY means!
Speaking of the League of Women Voters, read the op-ed in today's PDN on page A9 from Karen Crowley, president of the WA LWV, touting how the group is "nonpartisan." Yet, what she spells out as a defense of the group's so-called "nonpartisanship" in this op-ed clearly tells the opposite story. It's classic Orwellian Newspeak. Magnify that to a local chapter that is clearly a bunch of partisan leftwingers.
Re: "Consensus" in science: I have to return to the topic closest to my heart, since I'm fresh off of leading a support group and walking alongside people dealing with immense moral injury on top of physical pain and financial ruin because "The Consensus" calls them Misinformation and blocks humanitarian support.
Our local health board continues to ignore people who experience life-altering side-effects from the covid shots. I'm in this battle because it happened to someone we know and we were appalled at both her tragedy and the public health establishment's lack of care and lack of honesty. I have been making public comments and submitting (lots of) peer-reviewed data for 5+ years.
No one deserves the stigma and suffering that innocent people are enduring due to the indifference and willing blindness of those who serve "Consensus" over humanity.
"Consensus" about the safety of the covid shots has been driven by corporate interests, placing policy over people, and the govt's decision to censor Americans who suffered serious side effects, specifically to ensure that others wouldn't hesitate.
"Consensus" in this matter is only possible when ethics are thrown out the window and individuals make the conscious choice *not to look* at the horrific consequences in the lives of ordinary people.
The life of every single injured or bereaved person matters, but the current "Consensus" does not include humility or genuine compassion that would open doors to hope and healing.
Please read this series of emails from my volunteer-colleagues at React19 to leaders in the FDA and their internal responses (which were released not long ago via FOIA):
These emails were from years ago and it's chilling that --to this day-- those in power at every level continue to choose cruel abandonment in order to maintain "Consensus".
Change at the local level would not only drive upstream policy shifts towards sanity and mercy in this issue, but also break the similar lockstep dogma re: harm reduction policies that similarly perpetuate misery and shut out community input in the name of "Consensus".
Want to help? Please ask our local health board and federal reps to support HR 9672, The Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act.
**It'd be a game-changer to have truth and mercy win, both locally and further afield.**
So your ancestry matters. What confuses me in this unattainable strife for complete equality is why one person's ancestry matters, while another's does not. Why do Caucasian lives not matter ? Is that not the very definition of discrimination ? How much tax payer money should we invest in short, tall, thin overweight, straight hair, wiry hair, eye color, etc. ? How much black is black and how much native is native ? If we are going to intentionally and legally discriminate, we gotta get it right. The correct answer to all race inquiries is human.
Where are the parents? These kids probably are not educated in history or writing since they go to PA HS. The future of CC? God help us all! OBTW the church names a convicted criminal that they mourn for and yet the destruction and deaths in protesting are ignored. The Episcopal church mandates have strayed from Biblical verses dramatically to try and fit their agenda. You can’t change what was written by Gods direction thousands of years ago.
Schools are not teaching them history, civics, science, math, but instead indoctrinating them into organizing Marxist protests and social engineering. Society is doomed.
How right you are. The liberal teachers will be the downfall of the USA. History was Hitler took over the youth in Germany to birth the Nazi regime. They know what they are doing.
NOI, "indoctrinating them into organizing Marxist protests"....
Well, I guess their signs will be printed in the Klallam and Makah Language. That might be good, it appears the protest signs are limited to just English in four letter words.
Peninsula College Cuts the Useful Classes, Keeps the Political Ones
The Peninsula Daily News reported Peninsula College beginning a term already carved up by budget cuts. The college removed 44 arts and science courses: 13 in communication studies, 11 in natural sciences, eight each in humanities and social sciences, two in math, and two elective health courses. It kept 12 Klallam and Makah language courses, then moved them off the instructional budget and onto the Peninsula College Foundation.
ARGHHH! All this while our kids are failing math, history, science, English, and teaches kids that Communism is a good thing. How tragic! Where is the parental outrage and boisterous protests with pitchforks in hand? Where is the hot tar and feathers? Until these institutions begin fearing the parents and citizens, the status quo will remain.
Because the schools are teaching the kids the wonders of Communism, in lieu of history, math, science, English, and while parents are too busy watching Survivor to protest or, for that matter, even care! Society is doomed!

In my 21.4 years of living, working, and paying taxes in Clallam County I had had enough. I just couldn't accept how it's changed, so I moved on.

Jennifer, I am definitely supporting you from afar. I'm sorry I had to give up the fight. My sanity became more important. Listen up Clallam County Voters looking for change, DO NOT SIT STILL ~ STAND UP AND VOTE FOR CHANGE!
Our only hope is for the left wing hippies to enter assisted living and stop voting.

If I were still a Clallam County voter, I would most definitely VOTE JAKE!

Fill out this form if you sell tangible personal property or services to tribal members, tribes, tribal enterprises, or a spouse of a tribal member with delivery in their Indian country. In this form, a buyer is a tribal member, tribe, tribal enterprise, or a spouse of a tribal member who buys tangible personal property or services from you. If a buyer meets the criteria in Section 2 below, the buyer doesn’t have to pay tax. A contractor for a tribe is also tax exempt on purchases that a seller/market place facilitator delivers to the worksite in that tribe’s Indian country.
And getting information from the NGO's is a challenge. To look for their tax returns and audits, they have to reach a certain threshold of dollar amount and the information is usuall a couple years in the past. Sending requests to NGO's for information, sometimes a reply, sometimes not....
We live in a society where experts and AI find loopholes in our laws and exploits them. We need a way to negate loopholes without the legal quagmire that we already have. Maybe AI can revise our entire legal system and eliminate unintended loopholes, and replace activist judges with fact-based impartial judgements. That-- done right-- would right many wrongs.
Excellent work Jennifer! I will be renewing my "fan club" membership, post haste!
Excellent point!
Jennifer, is there any church in Sequim that isn't run by National politics and woke ideology?
Denise, I don't know, but if I wanted to hear about politics I don't think a church would be the place I would go.
"emotional intelligence, group psychology" Oy Vey! jay ay ay! oh my God! Adding this to the children being brainwashed....I am just flabbergasted, going back to bed....
LWV was engineered to get unsuspecting women to join their group to be brainwashed by liberal radicals.This group reeks with hypocrisy they claim to be non partisan but support the democrats agendas-policies 'liars usually get caught it just takes savvy CCWdoggers to catch them.
A 2023 photo from Indivisible’s headquarters, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Sequim, shows the reader board memorializing George Floyd (Minneapolis), Breonna Taylor (Louisville), Ahmaud Arbery (Georgia), and Atatiana Jefferson (Fort Worth). ----------------- While an older picture by a little bit
PROOF Indivisible doesn't care one iota about CC citizens
They have the Bidon mentality, let his wife take over because he wasn't home.
TLL, Yes, his wife was the one with the autopen. Now he's just a talking cash cow propped up for low key functions.
Well that seems to be where most of our at least 3useless Presidents made t..here money and or hide it.
Oh hades that picture of the kids and their signs is highly disturbing.
Coming from someone raised in the protesting days of the 60's and 70's
Great job as always, Patriot Jeff Tozzer~!
HA! Of course, the local criminal cabal gleefully points to their so-called (rigged) "consensus" of opinions for folks to believe, worship and follow~! Many billions of dollars and countless Treasonous scumbags have been paid off and/or extorted to "follow the communists" evil plot to destroy America and even further enslave ALL Americans. So, anyone foolish enough to simply count the "opinions" of the Treasonously criminally corrupt mob would be immediately tricked into betraying America by following the very communists who are destroying America in the first place! The preponderance of "fraudulent opinion's" does not prove that the communist's fake news and fake science is true by ANY means!
Choose wisely!
Sincerely, Mike
Speaking of the League of Women Voters, read the op-ed in today's PDN on page A9 from Karen Crowley, president of the WA LWV, touting how the group is "nonpartisan." Yet, what she spells out as a defense of the group's so-called "nonpartisanship" in this op-ed clearly tells the opposite story. It's classic Orwellian Newspeak. Magnify that to a local chapter that is clearly a bunch of partisan leftwingers.

Re: "Consensus" in science: I have to return to the topic closest to my heart, since I'm fresh off of leading a support group and walking alongside people dealing with immense moral injury on top of physical pain and financial ruin because "The Consensus" calls them Misinformation and blocks humanitarian support.
Our local health board continues to ignore people who experience life-altering side-effects from the covid shots. I'm in this battle because it happened to someone we know and we were appalled at both her tragedy and the public health establishment's lack of care and lack of honesty. I have been making public comments and submitting (lots of) peer-reviewed data for 5+ years.
No one deserves the stigma and suffering that innocent people are enduring due to the indifference and willing blindness of those who serve "Consensus" over humanity.
"Consensus" about the safety of the covid shots has been driven by corporate interests, placing policy over people, and the govt's decision to censor Americans who suffered serious side effects, specifically to ensure that others wouldn't hesitate.
(Read more in the Dressen v Flaherty lawsuit documents: https://nclalegal.org/case/dressen-et-al-v-flaherty-et-al/)
"Consensus" in this matter is only possible when ethics are thrown out the window and individuals make the conscious choice *not to look* at the horrific consequences in the lives of ordinary people.
The life of every single injured or bereaved person matters, but the current "Consensus" does not include humility or genuine compassion that would open doors to hope and healing.
Please read this series of emails from my volunteer-colleagues at React19 to leaders in the FDA and their internal responses (which were released not long ago via FOIA):
https://react19.org/news/five-years-ago-react19-asked-federal-health-officials-for-help-newly-released-emails-show-they-knew
These emails were from years ago and it's chilling that --to this day-- those in power at every level continue to choose cruel abandonment in order to maintain "Consensus".
Change at the local level would not only drive upstream policy shifts towards sanity and mercy in this issue, but also break the similar lockstep dogma re: harm reduction policies that similarly perpetuate misery and shut out community input in the name of "Consensus".
Want to help? Please ask our local health board and federal reps to support HR 9672, The Vaccine Injury Compensation Modernization Act.
**It'd be a game-changer to have truth and mercy win, both locally and further afield.**

It needs to be a class action lawsuit.
Unfortunately, that's not possible due to the PREP Act.
That's right tie our hands just like our Worthless Wa state GOV.
So your ancestry matters. What confuses me in this unattainable strife for complete equality is why one person's ancestry matters, while another's does not. Why do Caucasian lives not matter ? Is that not the very definition of discrimination ? How much tax payer money should we invest in short, tall, thin overweight, straight hair, wiry hair, eye color, etc. ? How much black is black and how much native is native ? If we are going to intentionally and legally discriminate, we gotta get it right. The correct answer to all race inquiries is human.
It's "Us against Them" mindset.
Where are the parents? These kids probably are not educated in history or writing since they go to PA HS. The future of CC? God help us all! OBTW the church names a convicted criminal that they mourn for and yet the destruction and deaths in protesting are ignored. The Episcopal church mandates have strayed from Biblical verses dramatically to try and fit their agenda. You can’t change what was written by Gods direction thousands of years ago.
We have an entire generation raised without morals or integrity

Schools are not teaching them history, civics, science, math, but instead indoctrinating them into organizing Marxist protests and social engineering. Society is doomed.
How right you are. The liberal teachers will be the downfall of the USA. History was Hitler took over the youth in Germany to birth the Nazi regime. They know what they are doing.
That's why when these liberals call you a NAZI, you know their game plan is to be a NAZI and use all of the Third Reich's tactics.
And, sadly, we're letting them.
NOI, "indoctrinating them into organizing Marxist protests"....
Well, I guess their signs will be printed in the Klallam and Makah Language. That might be good, it appears the protest signs are limited to just English in four letter words.

Peninsula College Cuts the Useful Classes, Keeps the Political Ones
The Peninsula Daily News reported Peninsula College beginning a term already carved up by budget cuts. The college removed 44 arts and science courses: 13 in communication studies, 11 in natural sciences, eight each in humanities and social sciences, two in math, and two elective health courses. It kept 12 Klallam and Makah language courses, then moved them off the instructional budget and onto the Peninsula College Foundation.
ARGHHH! All this while our kids are failing math, history, science, English, and teaches kids that Communism is a good thing. How tragic! Where is the parental outrage and boisterous protests with pitchforks in hand? Where is the hot tar and feathers? Until these institutions begin fearing the parents and citizens, the status quo will remain.
Where are the parents?
I rest my case:
Because the schools are teaching the kids the wonders of Communism, in lieu of history, math, science, English, and while parents are too busy watching Survivor to protest or, for that matter, even care! Society is doomed!
