Day after the election
It's the day after the election. And it's not looking favorable for Kerry. *starts to cry*. I don’t consider Bush my president. He's not protecting me. He's sending my friends to go fight a war for his oil buddies. He wants to control what I do with my Uterus, and wants to tell my greatest friend in the whole wide world that he can’t marry who he wants to. He's giving "tax-cuts"... but they don’t help me. I’m still struggling to have enough money to go to college, and still be able to eat. My parents make too much money to get financial aid... and not enough to really afford college... Bush sure isn’t helping them out... He's not helping my friend's father who's dying, because of bush's inability to see that people need affordable healthcare, is leaving my friend's father unable to pay his bills. He's not helping my friend whose mom is working 2 jobs in order to be able to eat. He's not helping any children I know with his "education reforms"... in fact... he seems to have kept well away from those...
And let's get into the nitty-gritty... I have no amendment in the constitution that protects my rights as a woman. My friend, Ben, has no amendment that protects him as a homosexual... Oh yeah... we've made great strides in equal rights... *coughs*... that's why there are still majority minority schools with less money, and majority white schools with more... that's why I have to fight 5 times as hard to have my opinion respected where as my father, who holds many of the same opinions, has his opinion respected because he's male... My friend Ben has to deal with harassment, and when he goes to file a police report, he isn’t taken seriously and the police officer blows him off... I don’t get it... how can we say we've made great strides... the schools are as segregated as they were in the 1970's, if not more so... As of now there is nothing great about America... I'm waiting for the gap to grow so wide between the upper-class and middle and lower-class in America, that we turn into a third world country... (and I don’t give a damn if it's not politically correct to call a country 3rd world... that's what we'll become if we keep this up)... I have no faith in America... I have no faith in democracy... and as of now, I have no faith in the American People... I don’t want to leave... but I don’t want to stay... so I'll sit, and wait... but I assume that in another 10 years, unless things change, I will be living somewhere in Europe, away from this insane country and its bullying attitude...
