Ignorance reigns supreme. My hope is that in the years to come, we can make some change in that regard. At least to educate people regarding exactly what those "values" are. There is tremendous value in having access to health care, heating oil, food and housing. What monstrous values he must reflect that he is willing and even eager to deny those things to others.

I believe ignorance, rather than malice, is the root of the problem. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. If we can truly educate people, I believe that they will stop voting for men like LePage.
