Now then...my other two cents....

Lakritze...just because your canidate didn't win, doesn't mean democracy didn't work. I agree that not every decision should be based upon the actions of the 9/11 attacks, but don't you think it imperative that it not be disregarded either? Should the US have sat idly by afterwards?

Also, if you are unhappy at the direction the country is taking, how is leaving going to help solve it. Stay, use your voice and your vote. Lobby. And effect change. Tis the beauty of democracy.

My apologies for those that I may have offended or angered or incited, but this country is something I hold very, very dear. That feeling will not waiver, nor be influenced by whom sits in office. The commander in chief is my commander. I do not fight for politicians, I fight for right, and for my buddy beside me.
