I don't recall where the colors came from, but they're probably older than communism.

That brings to mind a question. 
Why the hell did the media use the tags red and blue for political groups the way they did?
Traditionally, **red** is the color for communists, not nationalists or anticommunists.
Do you think it has to do with Yuri Bezmenov’s demoralization phase? I don’t think that it is the normalization phase, quite yet.

I know the feeling. As much as I want everyone's freedoms protected, I would prefer local rule setting. That way I can just move to a sane place and all the crazies can move to their crazy places.

The Economic and Social Consequences of Rent Control

Thankfully, California voted down Prop 33, which was a pro-rent-control law this election cycle.

I was actually on the fence about Prop 33.  Prop 33 formally would have given cities the ability to set their own rent control laws, whereas it was previously prevented by state law.  So Prop 33 is pro local-control vs state-control.
