Thanks for your kind words, amandageist. I'm sure it must a rather strange position for you. I will admit I was thinking of you and a few others when I went back to change my entry to put it behind a cut tag, because yeah, I can see sort of, if I squint really really really hard how the people who voted for George W. Bush did it because they thought they were doing what is best for the country. I want you to keep reading my journal and commenting.

I am capable of changing my mind about things, and I have. But I think that the America you want is not the America I want. And I don't think it's the America that the rest of the world wants.

And I KNOW it's not the America I want for my children.
