They see the end of their world coming and would rather destroy the state and its' public institutions than face up to changing times. But times will change whether they want them to or not, and if the best and brightest find no opportunities here they will go create them somewhere else. And Wisconsin will keep on getting grayer, less educated, more superstitious, more fearful, more isolated, more outdated and so behind the rest of the country that they won't even be able to imagine what progress is anymore. <br /><br />That will be Scott Walker's legacy -- a state that will think that poverty and ignorance is something to be proud of, as long as the wealthy don't have to pay any taxes.
