Argh. Did I say I'm angry? You know what has begun to piss me off is people who tell me that I'm angry when I wasn't---to start with. I'm just telling it like I see it. When I speak directly people love to tell me that I'm pissed, and THAT pisses me off. It's a trap. When will a woman be permitted to speak her mind fully without being pigeonholed as an "angry woman"?
My feeling about Miss MiniMcCain is more one of dismay, frustration, hopelessness. I feel the same about voters who choose a candidate based on liking the same ___ (fill in the blank). HOW does one build a functional government? Certainly not by electing people based on music preferences. You call it brilliant social engineering, I call it advertising. Same thing, I guess. Winning for a candidate can be a loss for a nation, and I keep hoping that this nation will again stand up and demand that the government work for us.
But I'm beginning to repeat myself. You know what I mean, and I get your point too. I sure hope he doesn't win, but I'm not fooling myself: he has a good chance. He has the neoconservative vote riggers and military-industrial corporations on his side. And they'll do anything to perpetuate their reign.
