The Alabama Senate Election

Congratulations to Alabama where 49% of the voters voted for a very conservative democrat and 1.7% couldn't abide voting for whatever Roy Moore was and wrote in a candidate.  Younger and older people fall in love, but despite some of the articles this wasn't particularly sanctioned in the 1960s.  I believe a certain musician was run out of the country for similar conduct and he married his young partner. Great Balls of Fire!
I'm not sure what Roy was 40 years ago.  The term pedophile or accused pedophile is thrown around a lot and his responses to the charges are lackluster.  But I don't think what he represented 40 years ago made him the worse candidate, which I think he was.  The relative time spent on his 1860's political views compared to his old sexual preferences seemed a little out of whack.  The fact that over 48 percent of the voters voted for a candidate who thought we should go back to the moral values of the 1860's indicates that at least 52% might not have felt that way.
I have said before that the irrationality of people can be traced to the lack of cohesion that breaths life into mathematical by-products like us. We coat the outer crust of a single rock and think that somehow makes us special and some, like Moore, think it gives them the right to tell other people what creation is.  Well, I may not have that right, but I do it anyway.
The republican inconsistency of abhoring abortion (over 50% of Alabama voters think it should be illegal-note that all the "facts" in this come from the "fake news" like cnn, I haven't verified any of them) while denying universal healthcare reflects one side of this equation, 70% of voters of certain ethnic groups didn't show up to the polls, waiting for whom to decide their fate for them?
One might say that Alabama did the right thing, but the right thing is hard to define.  Jones (the winner) outspent Moore 10:1.  Moore was potentially more defective than Hillary as a candidate (depending on how you look at these things) and Jones (who looks like a senate candidate) won by less than 2% and did not cross the 50% threshold...but it's Alabama.  I do like the motto, "We dare defend our rights," but with the potential reference to the "primarily slavery driven" civil war, it seems like it comes off "the non-slaves dare defend their right to keep other people enslaved."
There is slavery today and very little is done about it.  There is an inherent slavery embodied in the idea of 50% of the wealth being in 1% of the population of the world which is not all bad, but it does, in the name of logic, require some contemplation.
I couldn't support him, but I was a "give Trump a chance" type of guy despite his losing the popular vote, but his constant lying is off-putting and his decisions relative to the national park system fly in the face of Pinchott and Roosevelt who were the most far seeing of the presidents and presidential advisors in my opinion in regard to the limits of people's ability to husband the land and is, for me, the nail in the coffin in determining whether the president has the fiber (moral or mental) to lead.  That being said, I consider him to be less defective than Moore although they are both comparable demigods and equally corrupt to outer appearances.
All people are corrupt if they believe they are right over other people unless possessed of opinions only based on logic.  And what is right in one generation is criminal in the next.
