Actually, I thought about this comment last night when driving home from work - I honestly do not believe I would blame Kerry *God-forbid* if he was elected president. Just about any area in the country is prone to natural disasters, and it is diffcult for me to think about it (I mean, aren't we due for a major earthquake any time now), but you can't blame it on the president. California has earthquakes and mudslides, the midwest, specifically Kansas, are home to tornadoes, the Gulf coast as well as the Atlantic coast are frequently victims of hurricanes. Personally, I don't own earthquake insurance or ANY form of renters insurance. If the big one struck, all my posessions would be gone, and it's not as if Ryan and I have a network of people to just go run off to (although scrounging up what little money we have to go visit my aunt in Walla Walla, Washington would look mighty nice). Of course, we don't hit the poverty line but we are by all means not "doing good for ourselves," we just barely get by - welcome to the lives of Newlyweds. HOWEVER, if it was a big enough disaster to where many lives were affected, I would expect the goverment to help in the recovery effort in order to get our lives back on track. Sorry about my rambling, but this does go to show anyone out there that I do try to honestly think things objectively, which is more than most Republicans can say.

Yeah, I really hope that earthquake that is due doesn't hit anytime soon. And if it has to, I hope it isn't real bad. Everyone would be fucked, and no one realizes it much. Tell Ryan that I am loving the Steelers right now... they are killin and Big Ben is leading me to victory in my fantasy football leagues. lol Plus, he beat the Titans bad last week and allowed me to give my housemate a huge load of shit about it. hahaha Too bad my Lions are getting beat right now..... I don't know what their problem is today. Well, PEACE!
