huh..
cat and i had a very sad exchange.. i thought it was worth posting because it was um.. relevant..
Cat: I'm very blue...
Brett: I know, me too.. ..Last time i felt blue this way i spent every night looking at real estate ads for houses in BC.
Cat: I don't want to abandon my country...
Brett: Neither did I, but it kind of feels this time like our country abandoned us...
To have that many people just be so grossly bigoted and motivated by fear to the abandonment of reason hurt us both. to read reports of the most important issue being "morals" (translation: stop gay marriage and abortion and the separation of church and state [already partially abandoned in the mccarthy era]) even more important than jobs, the economy, and the unconstitutional war in iraq... well.. frankly, it feels like my country in large part abandoned their sense. abandoned their minds. so be it. i'll watch it happen. surrounded by like-minded compatriots, i am not afraid of your laws today. i will disparage the president and his lunatic policies until you make it illegal (or did you already?? patriot act, i'm looking in your direction...)
i have a feeling that most people outside this country realizes how divided we are, and are as astounded as me by the questionable sanity of 52-some-odd-% of us.. .. but that doesn't really make me feel safe.
well.. i won't continue. you can tell i've calmed down quite a bit. and you just wait till i get started on about how retarded the government is ... because i have a feeling there will be alot of that to come. i'm confident they won't have the intelligence of a mossy stone... given the history
oh yeah, one more thing. now that those people have control of (or soon to) every branch of government, everything they promised should happen right? and if it doesn't, you people who endorsed what they want to do will be forced to fault them for not doing it. wont' you?

'Tis a pity that man sees a 51% vote as the American people "speaking". If any sense of big picture were available to him or his advisors, they'd be able to notice the remarkable size of the remaining 49%. And maybe ask themselves what they did to not deserve our votes as well.
Not playing bitchvocate today,
Screwtape
