Ok, we all know who won the election by now, unless you really don't care (if so, shame on ya). So now what?

Most of the people here voted for Kerry, as I did. That the majority of the US wanted Bush to stay in office just makes me want to leave the US for greener pastures. It sounds defeatest tho...

Or -

I could become a militant advocate for change from the oppression of right wing religeous zealots. You know. Like the Black Panthers did. But then, I don't look good in a beret. Toting a rifle around and shouting messages of "By any means neccessary" is a bit extreme for me as well.

There is a pretty good chance right now that things will get worse in Iraq and we will start seeing protests that rival those of the Vietnam era. It might be the only way to get the point accross to the rest of the republicans that things AREN'T getting better. Tell the world that not ALL the US are idiots.

I might just join the ALCU and the Free Speach coalition tho. I might even explore 3rd party candidates like Libertarians.

Ultimately, I'm accepting Bush won. But it doesn't mean I have to "eat shit" as they say in Hawaii. "Eating shit" is a great expression, I absolutely adore. It means when someone bullshits you, you take it (eat it). I refuse this. Because Bush and Ashcroft and Rumsfeld are still going to cling on to thier jobs doesn't mean we have to not hold them accountable to thier actions. Haven't we learned from Harding and Nixon?

There's hope. But of course, I'm still checking airfare to france.
