[kj] (OT) election thoughts

[Alexander Smith]

Literally unbelievable. I refuse to believe it. I can't fucking stand 
it.

I seem to recall an article on Bin Laden sometime prior to September 
11th, and he explained that he would no longer avoid targeting American 
civilians (as opposed to simply military targets). By his rationale, 
America's leaders are voted into office by the American people -- thus 
the American people are complicit in the decisions made by the 
presidential administration. Around the world, it was generally agreed 
that Bush basically *STOLE* the election in 2000, thus the American 
people weren't entirely at fault. This time, this is not the case. In 
the eyes of the rest of the world more than ever, we as American 
citizens just put a stamp of approval on Bush's last four years. There 
will be no further sympathy nor understanding.

We're fucked. Duck and cover.
