There's something I don't quite get about the progressive set, where they don't seem to understand that the incremental approach is usually by necessity rather than preference. Have these people never tried to accomplish things in the face of opposition, obstacles, and limitations?

If these people needed a new car, would they even understand that factors such as "budget" and "probable fuel and repair costs" might impact what they can or should get? 1993 and I bought my first car, and I saved $4000 by learning to drive stick rather than get automatic. Sometimes you have to make allowances for reality to get what you want.

Totally neither here nor there, but at this moment on "The High Chaparral" it's an episode all about black cavalry soldiers, and it seems to be a good-faith effort to expose 1960s audiences to the notion of, black men are just as honorable and courageous as white men can be. But it's pissing me off that everyone keeps saying "Calvary" every. single. time. It's like the director would scream "CUT!", get out of his chair, and stomp around and fume whenever anyone actually pronounced "cavalry" correctly. This has nothing to do with voting rights but I had to complain to someone.

Would add that this "voting holiday because it sounds AWESOME" instead of "mail-in ballots because they would solve the problem very simply" reminds me of other policy disputes I have with the progressive set.
