| The people of California indicated they were dissatisfied with the current management, fed up with liberal politics as usual. Some said if they could have recalled the entire democratic legislature in California they would have. It is said that all trends begin on the left coast and migrate east. If this is true then I think there are an awful lot of nervous politicians out there. I believe the country is changing and I think for the better. The electorate has becoming more sophisticated, not easily fooled as before. The liberals may sputter and spout the old mantras, but they are slowly becoming irrelevant. I think the next 52 plus weeks will be very interesting. -Rosalie Perkins Perkins� Perusings Thinking about this column and listening to the Democratic News Networks, i.e. everything other than Fox 25, can make you fall into the trap of defensiveness of any of your positions.
