A little update from Amy

Nov 06, 2004 11:53

As you may have guessed I've been very depressed these past couple of days. I had a good cry Nov. 3rd. It sickens me how many idiots we share land with. I was talking with these cool guys yesterday. They seemed great- they liked Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Dylan and then.... they mentioned Bush. THEY VOTED FOR BUSH! It hurt my heart I tell ya. So, one of two things- either they don't know what they're voting for which is rather ignorant or they DO understand Bush's views and actually agree with them which scares the hell out of me. They got mad at me for not being accepting of their views but it's so hard to look at a person and know that they stand for: Lack of health care and social security, tax cuts for the rich, no money for education, oppose gay marriage and abortion and root for war. "If anyone messes with us, Bush will mess right back." This is a great message to send our children. I feel like the world was giving us another chance to redeem ourselves after all the shitty stuff Bush did (i.e. the war- which is going great by the way...wait where are those weapons of mass destruction again?) We definitely let them down. What happens when I go to Ireland next year and I have to say I'm American- EMBARRASSING! I'm ashamed to be associated with such people. Kids are dying, more will die. My one Republican friend says, "You'll see Amy, everything's gonna be great." You really think Bush had the mind capacity to fix our economy? To fix schools? To "unify" our country? Fuck that. I miss Clinton. Everyone fucking LOVED us when he was in power. He was the shit.
Quote of the day: "It's the end of the world as we know it...and I feel FUCKED!" R.E.M. and I little me.
P.S. There's a warrant out for my arrest.
