Hi Glenn, Thanks for the insightful article into Conan the Republican. There was one passage I particular enjoyed: Last year, he led the campaign in California for Proposition 49, which calls for about a half-billion dollars in state spending on after-school programs. The state's leading newspapers editorialized against the measure, warning that it could rob the treasury of funds badly needed for health care and public safety, but Schwarzenegger fought vigorously for it. The measure won with 57 percent of the vote. I find myself in agreement with the candidate here. I recently read a statistic that a surprisingly high percentage of youth crime occurs in the late afternoon when kids roam unsupervised and bored. The editorial writers got it wrong, thinking the money ought to be spent on cops chasing bored teens, when the wiser course would be to socialize the errant kids and give them something worthwhile to occupy their time. It's a classic "stitch in time saves nine" sort of solution.
