- Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children’s private schools, organize in secret...
"The dissidents use pseudonyms...these are the rebels: well-off Los Angeles parents who send their children to Harvard-Westlake, the most prestigious private school in the city.
By normal American standards, they are quite wealthy.
...So it strikes them as something more than ironic that a school that costs more than $40,000 a year—a school with Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s right hand, and Sarah Murdoch, wife of Lachlan and Rupert’s daughter-in-law, on its board—is teaching students that capitalism is evil.

It is sort of divine justice when the laws and rules that are made to apply to the common people end up being applied to those who are responsible for making them. You of course notice just how often the laws that come out of D.C. have carve outs making the politicians immune.

The one good thing that we did was term limits. Even politicians that ran on that platform in the past, after their time in Lansing was over, I heard more than a few complain that 2 terms was just not enough time for them to learn the ropes and make the contacts needed to begin to get things done. And then they asked the voters to reconsider and change it back. That was when I knew just how lucky we are that we did it, and wondered if we could as a state, do the same thing for how we send representatives and senators to Washington. Even if no other state did it, we might set a wonderful example, by forcing term limits on our politicians, not letting them become lifelong pond scum with a lifelong ruling class mentality.
