I always need to remind myself where most of us live adjacent to the alternate realities of others. The ideologues of the far right and far left absolute believe the distortions and historical revisions upon which their beliefs and behaviors are based. Cult contagion is the only reason I can come up as to why a cartoon like Chesa Boudin was ever elected. What ever happened the centrist common sense……..it has become a category of individual to be held in suspicion for not confessing loyalty to the revisions and distortions of extreme views. Lara Bazelon’s comments made my stomach turn, though I believe she is well intentioned. I read Michael Shellenberger’s San Fransicko and found it refreshingly honest and objective, especially since it written by a liberal (I am viscerally programmed to distrust liberals, having grown up and lived many years in New York City). The observation that statistics can manipulated and misinterpreted like a Rorschach ink blot is a point well taken. I stand firm in my support for police officers, law and order, and the need to involuntary treat the mentally ill and substance dependent. I also don’t believe that mad dogs can be reformed. One the developmental damage is done, some people never change, especially once sociopathic personality structure has congealed.
