Having watched the whole coverage and the online action, I get the feeling that unlike ever before people of all walks of life seem more passionate then ever about delivering the opinion on were they stand.

That in itself to me is democracy in action.

What the result for the US and the World will be is really quite relative, prices and taxes will always rise, opposites will wage wars, and stable state economies are too boring to attract camera lights, we will always get to the truth 50 years later in a late night doc, and we will always have mixed feelings simply because, unlike irl, no matter how “informed”, we can never fathom the full intention behind the politics.

Be well.

Good luck with everything over the next few years. I hope that Republicans and Democrats can truly put aside their differences to clean up the mess the country finds itself in.

Sorry, but I refuse to be proud of the fact that we just elected a socialist to govern the country. As the Obamajugend sang in a Youtube video, he’s “gonna change it, and rearrange it…” The Democrats have stabbed repeatedly in the back, so no, it’s not just the Republicans who have driven this country into the ground. Personally, I’m just going to sit back and watch the fur fly. You haven’t seen anything yet. Cripes, we might as well just add a hammer and sickle to the American flag. And yes, I think the Republicans really need to get back to some serious conservatism. The only good that will come from this is that when the proverbial crap hits the fan (and it will), it’ll be all in the Democrats’ lap.

I think that means it’s all over. At the very least it means I’m popping the top off this bottle!
