Anti-government ideology kills school children


I don’t think that’s too strong.  I have read a number of accounts stating that the reason Oklahoma does not require storm cellars in schools is because most of the people who live in Oklahoma oppose government mandates.  

In Texas after the fertilizer factory blew up, relatives of people who were killed in the blast said they did not think the government should be imposing safety regulations.  

This is the kind of thinking that puts loyalty to an abstract ideology ahead of people’s lives.  I don’t understand it, but I don’t live in Oklahoma or Texas.  And I am thankful that I don’t.
