some brief parting thoughts before bed ...

i don't have a lot to say about this right now. i am kind of waiting to hear how the election turns out. but as i am going to bed, bush has destroyed kerry in the close popular vote -- meaning that it seems like a high enough difference to negate questions of rigging the election.

of course, people will still say it. and i don't think i agree with that. i figured bush was going to win. i am not convinced that there are a whole lot of supporters for the people that are outraged in this world.

in fact, i think america is the evil that it is perceived as. i think the people are largely responsible.

i am not going on forever. it's a little past my bedtime ... sort of. but i think there are a few things that we have to change about the way the nation runs the elections. i always interpreted the apology by plato as a statement that the stupid and evil people in the world will always outnumber the wise and honest.

and i think that the nation proved by far today that he was certainly right if you use america as your sample. i think i am going to try and start the movement to abolish the government practice of acknowledging marriage. i consider it a direct offense to my first amendment rights.

i don't really care if states want to ban gay marriage, i don't know why gay peole want to get married. but a government right should have the same access for all people. there is a lot that is wrong with the world, but our government should not be part of that.

i think i fear living in this country no matter who wins. i am not comfortable with living in a country where christianity runs so rampant, where people think that american lives are worth more than other lives, where people feel like you have to live the way that they want you to live. this is not my home, not like this.

i believe that america could be a lot better. and i have to admit that i am very happy that bush has gotten re-elected. i think that now things might actually change. i am hoping that enough people stopped trusting this system. and though i should go on to clarify my feelings, i am not going to. i guess i am just going to assume that no one actually reads this, and i will clarify tomorrow.
