Oh man... where do I start ...
On Monday, I got smashed by a company trucker hauling shit around on I5 when I'm trying to go to school ... later that day, I almost got tagged by a little Green Ford Escort while I was crossing a crosswalk at school. The head-lights weren't turned on, and it was getting dark out... Luckily I have reflexes like a cat XD
Tuesday, election day ... i don't need to say much about that ...
.. except ...
WHAT THE FUCK?
Wednesday ... the news ... OMFG ... not everything has been counted yet ... are you sure that it was all fairly counted? ... how do we really know? ...
It is a sad day for everyone ... and I cringe when I think about how the next 4 years will go ...
... more pre-emptive wars ... as if the first one wasn't enough ...
... a newer, shinier, more imposing version of the Patriot Act (some call it the Patriot Act II, or Son of the Patriot) ... Hello world of 1984 ...
... a more dangerous America, with people able to buy assault guns ... Have they brought back the weapons ban bill yet? ... If not, well ... I'm sorry for the officers and SWAT and other emergency response units that will be walking into a more dangerous era ...
... I'm really worried about our civil liberties ... they are slowly being taken away ... our freedom of choice and things like that ;) They are being overridden by 'moral values' ... tch. Remember way back in the day when we let uber religious people run things? ... Holy cleansings & persecution ... are we taking a few steps backwards in societal advancement?
... Draft ... now that the POTUS has another 4 years to go, and really nothing to stop him, except his own stupidity and getting himself impeached ... but since he lifted all sorts of barriers for not being eligible to being drafted before the elections ... well ... he'll need more "able bodies" to fight his wars for money & greed & power, right? ... who the FUCK is going to vollunteer to go and fight those wars for him? ...
*sigh* that is all ... so much for keeping this a short one ...
