yesterday, i wept for the world...

the results of the election yesterday hit me much harder than i ever thought they would. i spent most of last night after finding out that kerry conceded feeling like i was going to throw up. i actually felt that 'impending doom' feeling – i’ve never really felt that before. i just can't make myself understand how, after four years of virtual hell on earth, the american people could come out in droves and vote that man back into office. the scariest part of that whole sha-bang to me is that now, there's not even the house or senate to stop shrub. everyone's decided to shift everything right on over to the ridiculous right. ... did people even read the republican platform before they picked up their voting utensil [mouse, pencil, punch-thingy, what have you] and voted for shrub?

please, someone help me understand…

help me understand how a man who has sent thousands of people to fight a senseless war could be voted back into office. please, help me understand how a man who has been proven to be dishonest insofar as 'intelligence' [national, not his own...] could be trusted with that 'intelligence' again? - more importantly, how could a man who has incited so much outright hatred for our nation be trusted to keep us safe? how could a man be such a horrible president and still get the majority of the votes?

is america asleep? is america deaf, dumb and blind? ... i just don't get it and i don't think that i ever will.

what are we supposed to do now? i cannot just sit idly by while shrub incites world war III and a new depression... and yet i feel so utterly helpless – check that - i fell so utterly powerless to change things...

how could we have let this happen again? how, after seeing all that has been allowed to happen for four years, could we just open the door to disaster once more? ...
