"Politically Correct Trumps Substance Every Time"

Paul Soglin on Why the Prospects for Madison are so Bleak, Part II:

"Struck by the number of residents who said if things don't improve soon, they'll consider moving elsewhere." Good grief. Its been going on for over a decade and really picked up around 2000. The school enrollment figures clearly show that. And go look at the private schools, bulging at the seams, for confirmation.

That's OK. This is Madison. All is forgiven. Throw a good party on State Street, recycle a few beer cans, vote to impech Bush-Cheney, and it does not matter that we are losing the city.

Politically correct trumps substance every time.
