Malice? Incompetence? Stupidity?

While Jerry Pournelle didn’t include the last (“stupidity”–doing things that don’t get the results supposedly “expected” over and over again–e.g., “welfare”–just putting more time, effort and resources into the failed processes) in a recent short essay, I think that’s the only idea that fits with his disquisition that he missed.

I believe that the upcoming election is the most important election in decades, and that its effects will be felt for decades to come. What’s at stake are the very principles of this nation. Surely that’s clear enough? Clearly I believe that those who voted in this government were mistaken…

If you’re not already involved at some level working to turn things around at the voting booth, then get busy. If you don’t care enough to get involved, then shame on you.
