Walker reflects the sad inability of WI's good people to move ahead and adapt to change. We have sentenced ourselves to become quaint and curious relics--sorta like Hillbillies. Even Thompson--not the sharpest tool in the shed--advocated back in 2000 for changing direction to move into more high tech, genetic, med-based research. He cited Milwaukee, Madison, and Marshfield as hubs of change.
Sadly the people here await the return of the buffalo--farming and manufacturing--like the Ghost Shirt Society. MN continues to beat us at every game. Our population ages more quickly (in the sense of constituting a higher proportion of the total), our children continue to flee the state, and our net growth lags to the point where will will continue to lose representatives at the federal level. Walker is giving people what they want. Stagnation and decay under the pretense of stability.
