| Thanks America. Thanks. Thanks for voting in a man who's ignoring our civil rights (Meaning Patriot Act and Gay Marriage, and maybe abortion too). Thanks for voting for a man who's going to ruin our economy (Oh wait, he already did). Thanks for voting for a man who's taking policemen off the streets and putting guns on them. Thanks for voting for a man who's destroying whatever good feelings the rest of the world had for the US. Thanks for voting for a man who's ruining the education system with his dumm No Child Left Behind (And as for that, not to be callous, but really, it's going to be the students that are gifted who will be leading our country in the future. And it's great that special ed students are getting lots of money, but what about my atyp class where we're doing Mejer's fundraisers to stay alive?). Thanks for voting for a man who just conveniently forgets about separation of church and state, and freedom of religion. Thanks for voting for a man who talks all the time about how religious and "Christian" he is, and then starts a preemptive war, and picks and chooses what Biblical rules he's going to follow. Thanks for voting for a man with the speaking skills of a seventh graders. Thanks for supporting your country -- and my country -- like that. Thanks. Thought I was done ranting, but I'm not. I don't know if that up there really explains how absolutely devastated I am. The US can't TAKE another four years of George W. Bush. *I* can't take another four years. In general, I'm not profane. I try extremely hard not to swear. And I called Bush a dumbass in the middle of my history class today. That might not be a lot for other people, but it's a huge deal for me. I can't believe that more than half of this country honestly thinks that Bush will do the US good. Why did we do this to ourselves? I was terrified, watch the polls come in at Becca's house. When we had to leave, I listened to NPR at my house until I had to go to bed, and then even then I left my radio going and woke up probably five times during the night to see how things were going. And then Bush won. I'm devastated. And I've lost just about all the respect I had for my country. There are individual republicans -- *some*, not all -- who I respect. But the fact that more than 50% of my country supports this monkey man just hurts. And, I read this and I get even sadder. It depresses me that I have friends who will be treated like utter crap in this "Land of Equality", this "Land of the Free". I could keep going. I could probably keep going for four years, and I probably will. But *sigh* not right now. Right now I'm going to...I don't know what I'm going to do. Look into plane tickets to Canada and leave with Ash. Oh, and if that's not enough, there's so much crap going on in my personal life. If you ever want a soap opera, don't turn on your TV -- just come to my band. This entire day has just plain sucked. I'm listening to: silence and depressing thoughts in my head ~me~ at 3:58 PM Comment if you...
