So, about these results. It almost feels like the Civil War has just ended the way all of our hearts are on the floor. I understand putting your heart on a line for a cause can be as heartbreaking an the end of any love story.
Our country is splitting apart from divisions and judgements and bitterness and the passion that we've all got in opposing directions. To a point this is a fine thing, because we've got ferver and spirit and we care about this place. But all of the bad feelings floating around are clogging up the air of what could be a positive change.
I don't hate anyone. Be they Ohioans or homosexuals or John Kerry. There are a few things that I hate, but people -- it's not in my nature to. Hate is some vile thing we've cooked up against each other. Hating serves no purpose, really, but to stop you from moving ahead. For example, hating George W. Bush won't change this election.
In America, if you disagree with something, you have many ways of expressing it, thanks to Democracy, freedom of speech, and the internet. Don't just use the internet.
