"I'm going where there's no depression, to a better land that's free from care..."
So I talked to my mom this morning--One of my aunts is apparently dead serious about moving to Canada. I can't say that I blame her right now. I'm a little puzzled about why I'm really rather depressed right now...I'm home for lunch, and waiting to catch at least part of Kerry's concession speech, and I'm literally trying to fight back tears.
I don't like this. I don't understand it. I feel like I should've done more. I had the bumper stickers, I had the pins, I hounded Jay until we figured out how I could register to vote here in SoDak. I just don't get it. What happened with all the newly registered voters? What happened in the urban areas? I guess the only consolation is that at least it's only 4 years, and the shrub will be gone for good. Still, a lot can happen in 4 years, as has already been shown. And that's what scares the hell out of me. That no one seems to see that this is becoming more and more of a police state. That the Constitution is a joke. That the economy isn't turning around--It's just going to get worse, and the 2 f-in' wars we're mired in will still be going on 4 years from now.
I hope that once the votes in OH are finally counted, it shows that OH goes to Kerry.
