The most interesting thing I read this weekend

Via Victor Davis Hanson, Thoughts on a Surreal Depression:

In some sense, all the ideas that are born on the Berkeley or Stanford campus, in the CSU and UC education, political science, and sociology departments, and among the bureaus in Sacramento are reified in places like Selma — open borders, therapeutic education curricula, massive government transfers and subsidies, big government, and intrusive regulation. Together that has created the sort of utopia that a Bay Area consultant, politico, or professor dreams of, but would never live near.

Go read the entire thing, especially the equally interesting and insightful comments.
