Law and Order and Cathie Wright
Most people are for law and order. Most people would back their children in trouble. And I’m sure that Assemblywoman Cathie Wright (R-Simi Valley) is for both. But as recent events show that she has flouted the law, actions speak louder than words. By manipulating the law, this over-protective mother has turned her child into an arrant scofflaw. She has deliberately ignored two judges’ orders, and how many of us could have gotten away with this?
Wright recently voted against a bill to ban assault rifles, as did state Sen. Ed Davis (R-Valencia). The great majority, as polls show, are for some kind of gun control, as are the majority of law enforcement officers.
It is no coincidence that as a nation with the loosest gun controls among civilized countries, we have by far the most violence.
