The Scarecrow Reply

I am sure by now, most have seen The Wizzard of Oz, half a dozen times. I refer all to when Dorothy is confroted with a three way split in the road and asks which one to follow.

You’ll recall the scarecrow points one way then the other. Finally, he, wraps his arms about himself, pointing out all 3 ways and he says, effectively, or you can go that way, indicating all 3 roads led to Oz.

As the local news tries to pin down who is resposible for the crime increase, it reminds of that reply by the scarecrow. Some point here, while others point there.

The truth is that the mayor, city council, those that make the laws, the judges and the district attorney all have their part in it. The scarecrow can lagitamately point at all of them. However, let us not overlook where it all starts… the voters.

It is sort of the thing that happens when the voters vote for the dems for over a decade now.
