Florida had nothing on Rome.

I don't even want to argue about this. I just want to lay in bed in a fetal position and cry.

I did, you still don't have a point. Americans are, without question, the most charitible nation on the planet. You can argue that we're too involved with other countries politics, but the truth is that all nations are too involved with other nations politics.

That feeling of dread is just that, dread. We've had plenty of incapable presidents before, I dont expect anything terrible to happen in the next four years and I'm sure nothing will. It just sets us, as the most powerful country in the world a few steps back in certain areas.

Heres my predicitions:

I dont think Roe v. Wade will be overturned

I dont think gays will be able to marry

Other countries are, however going to become more advanced in medical sciences than the U.S., especially with stem cell shit.

The war will eventually end, and Iraqs president will be best buddies with America giving us a sweet deal on oil.

Other countries will still resent the shit out of us.

At least one terrorist attack will occur on American, nothing to rival the scale of 9/11.

That's actually a fact. This current election came down to Ohio, a state which has its primary culture being located in the Northeast and in the central area with Columbus. Almost the entire rest of my state are hicks, something that gets worse and worse the farther south you go.

Thing is, that lines up perfectly with the strength of Bush as evidenced by CNN's map. Say whatever you like, but it's truth that the hicks got Bush elected this time. I can't say anything about other states because Ohio's the only one I really know.

If anything, this has certainly jaded me about politics. I look back now and I feel pretty foolish for having bought in to all the hype the Dems and their surrogates pumped me up with. This wasn't a close election, Bush won the largest popular vote since Reagan, and the Reps still control the Congress. Apparently, America knows which direction it wants to go in, and despite my being completely opposed to it, the people have spoken and theres nothing we can do but accept it and try and make the most of it.
