Dam That River.

Lea- People find ways to pull guilt trips from me if I happen to offend their oh-so-special selves. When I don't feel like putting up with that, I warn people- many, many times over. After that, it's in their own hands.

Shin- Good for you Shin, I supported Badnerik too.

Erin- Maybe I could educate them to be pacifist first? =X

Mitch- I had a feeling Bush would win too, I just had to see how it turned out minute by minute. I'm a dork like that.

Irish- I respect you and all but uh, that's my point- living in a country that advocates freedom at a "no matter what" level would sort of override the dictionaries definition of said-word. There is a difference between just voting based on religion or religious views and voting based on who you see as being more *moral*. I would be fine if they used that in combination with rational, intellectual decision making but morality is too gray and silly a topic to be using in a national election. I hold spirituality in high regard, if you find your spirituality through mainstream religions, that's dandy. But I also revere intellectual, objective thought and that should be combined with any spiritual or religious leanings you have to create something rational- any fool could tell that Bush has the morals of a dingo, lol. Was Kerry better? I don't know, but I haven't seen him start any wars that killed a ton of civilians.

Heh, yesterday's post is ironic considering I find the best form of government to be a benign dictatorship. But really, democracy is flawed. I preached about it and preached about it, but never told you that, unfortunately, that is the sole proof it is made by men- it's imperfect, the "best we can come up with". Of course, this still leaves the option open for it to be improved, if anyone gave an ear to listen to what people thought should be changed. As we are the younger generation, our time is coming where we are the people in authority, if you wish change to occur then you should rise to the occasion.

It's almost that simple.

Anyway, Bush is President. I was was a supporter of Badnerik, I'm not as crushed as most true democrats are- there is talk now that the Democrats need to do some soul-searching. You've heard it, it is pretty heavy in the news- everywhere from FOX to CNN to the AP, lol. I agree with that, actually- and I also hope that, as the two parties are the only ones people choose from during elections, the 2008 democrat will be a much better candidate than Scary Kerry. Edwards seems like he is going to maybe try for it again- that's cool, he was a likeable, smart guy. We'll see what happens, huh?

Whomever you voted for, the whole message behind this is that you did it intellectually- you examined all your choices and selected which was the best for you. I know that all of you did, you are very sharp individuals- but you are a very, very, very, very minute portion of millions upon millions of people. I doubt that the majority of people did it in a pseudo-scientific way like that. Would it help? I don't know. Would it hurt you to do it like that? lol. I doubt it.

I'm preachy, I know.

And, I won't ever stop being that way- I know. ;P

I'm going to bed, I'm really tired. Have a good night/morning/whatever.

Adios dudes, dudettes, heads of state and otherwise.
