Edward R. Murrow said that a nation of sheep would breed a government of wolves. He didn’t live to see how right he was. We’re in the fold now, and the wolves are about to dine. ---

It’s not fair for either side to be ruled by the other, when it’s such a stark difference and we’re so evenly split. Well something has to give. We’ve outgrown the current system. I think what burns me the most is they’re total rightousness. I can understand (barely) if you think Iraq was a good move. What I don’t get is that they don’t see the other side, or even _acknowledge_ the viewpoint. This is limited to Iraq either mind you.

> [@gobear](#): > > It’;s godd that Kerry conceded. We don’t need a long, draen-out legal battle. Bush won, it’s over. Let’s lick our wounds and learn from this so that we can win next time. If there _is_ a next time. I consider the damage to be far beyond a “we’ll get 'em next time kiddo” scenario. I fear that we just missed our best chance to “bump” the country in a different direction. Every single thing Bush and his cohorts have done in the past 3 1/2 years just got a HUGE stamp of approval, and now the trend will strengthen. This country has jumped the shark folks. ---

Sure you have “the right” to say something, but sometimes decorum suggests you don’t exercise it. I could, for example, say that god doesn’t exist and anyone who believes in an invisble person is totally insane, but it would have been better if I left that unsaid. ---

Yeah, it’s inconceivable that someone actually could thank God because, um, they’re grateful to Him. Meanwhile, “Christian Al Qaeda crowd” was some innocent, non-goading factual statement, I guess. ---
