i've refrained from saying anything about the election here.
there are enough of those sites around.
but i must note here that today i am disappointed--and terrified--at the prospect of another four years under a raving lunatic who makes decisions based on his religious beliefs and has freely admitted to making world-impacting decisions based on what God tells him.
i am seriously conflicted about this. this nation has given me everything that i value, and, at the same time, our leadership stands for so much that i loathe. i'll never govern my life via religious conduct; i'll never tell a woman she can't do what she wants with her body; i'll never ever tell someone else they can't get married to someone they love; i'll never deny anyone proper sex ed; i'll never go into a thing with guns ablazing and my facts so cockamamie fucked up that i can't tell a WMD from a hole in the sand. finally, i'd like to think that i'll remember that life has many, many twists and turns--and not go through it with a set agenda that doesn't allow for some bumps in the road.
i am very, very angry.
that's all.
UPDATE: Kerry has conceded. It's a black, black day.
