Re: [UC] Bush Victory

[David Ford]

I'm very concerned about the legacy we leave our children.  I think they'll be fine economically if they're rich, and screwed otherwise.  I think that the security situation will get worse, and Bush will breed more terrorists around the world in the next four years than we've seen in the last fifty years.  The reputation of the US will be permanently diminished, and we'll be on our way to becoming a minor country and second-rate economic power. 

The nation may eventually turn inward, focusing on so-called values, and we'll lose our scientific edge (well, that's lost already), and our will to explore things for purposes of intellectual curiosity.  There may be increased friction between the southern and internal states, and the northeast and west coast states, leading to increased mistrust between us, and possibly culminating in some kind of serious split within the next 50 years.  It could cause a constitutional crisis, or even violence. 

We did our best to avoid these traps, and turn the country around.  Pennsylvania did the right thing, but we failed in Ohio.  We will suffer for this, but perhaps we'll find a way to fix things in the future.  Perhaps the misguided people who voted for Bush will start to see where things are headed, and will change their ways.  Hope springs eternal, but I have no basis for it.

I have to agree. I am so very, very ashamed to be an American today and feeling quite ill from thinking about long-term legacy the next 4 years will have on our country. God/Goddess/Buddha/Allah/whomever/whatever help us now while we try to sleep in the beds we’ve made for ourselves.

The only silver lining I can see is that Bush is going have to deal with the

mess that he created in Iraq and the next terrorist attack that will likely

occur on his watch.

I don't even want to think about what is going to happen with the Supreme

Court.

I think I am going to puke.
