It's almost touching to see the reaction of the students on campus. Some of the girls in my dorm and I spent a good portion of our time talking about all the bullshit, all this awful, awful bullshit and how hard we worked to make things different. We want to go to Canada. I don't need a passport for Canada. We also want to burn an effigy and dance ( Read more... )

You know what? I'm not a patriot anymore either. The way more than half of this country thinks sickens me. Some of my friends and me have decided not to say the pledge anymore.

The Pledge? Shit, I never said it to begin with.

Of all the election posts I've seen - and dear Lord, there've been a lot - yours is by far the most beautiful.

This is not the greatest, safest country in the world, especially not anymore on the latter. The benefits of living here include an unappreciation for womanhood, sexuality, and the self; an apathy for the state of the economy and the growing class gap; an idolitry for the intellectually deficient. There is nothing wonderful about being here.

I've been thinking this in some form or another for a while though, more applied to the American people than the politicians. I mean honestly, it's not Bush's fault that Issue 1 passed in eleven states - he didn't have the power to change people's minds one way or the other. It's the faults of the people who voted.

And dear God. You know what bothers me about this country? Of the 18-29 year old demographic, SEVENTEEN PERCENT OF THEM voted this past Tuesday.

Seventeen.

That disgusts me.
