So this is what our country has come to. Everyone I came in to contact with on Wednesday morning looked as though they had lost a family member and were still in shock over the news. Luckily, my public exposure ended early in the day. Otherwise, I'm sure I would have needed therapy to recover from the almost overwhelming effect of speaking with several dozen depressed and discouraged United States citizens. How is it that the voting majority, who claimed that strong moral values were largely responsible for their decision, choose George W. Bush as the President?
I guess if your moral values include lying (WMDs, altered intelligence, what memo?), killing thousands of innocent folks (Iraqies and U.S. soldiers alike) and refusing to fund programs like "No Child Left Behind," then it makes complete sense. I for one, however, am dumbfounded and outraged that more than half of our population simple does not get it.
