The Horror
The Left believes that conservatives walk around in a constant state of grump ‘n’ frump, annoyed by every manifestation of modernity, itching to roll back to the calendar to a day when women flounced around the kitchen in a modest pink dress and dad came home at day’s end, smoked a pipe, read the paper, and frowned about Bolshevism. We’re the killjoys, the scolds, the gloomy dour dolts, sour apples bobbing in a tub of bile. We lack the lark-song that fills the breast when you embrace the Progressive perspective. The hope! The sense of community, the yes-we-can conviction that a perfected society is almost within our grasp!
I don’t think they realize how their own obsessions look to people who don’t see the world through the prisms they have have taped over their own eyes. From the Atlantic magazine website:
Someone needs to form a committee about this, stat. Yes yes, the trains run on time. But they need to be more supportive. And that conductor? He never listens. Oh he pretends to. But you can tell. MILES AWAY.

Re: The Horror
I would like the San Francisco MUNI to better accommodate women if it meant the buses would be more sanitary and less malodorous.

Re: The Horror
Misthiocracy, Diane Ellis,
The solution to public transportation’s problems is private transportation. The goal should be to make private transportation so cheap that anybody can afford a private vehicle. The goal should not be to keep putting more and more money into a larger and larger public system that becomes less effective with size and can only accommodate a small portion of the population. It would also help with Diane’s “sanitary and less malodorous” issue since if you had an issue with your vehicle you could just clean it out.
