End of the World...

Sparky woke me up this morning to tell me Kerry was about to give his "concession speech". I honestly got the same feeling I did when he woke me up to tell me an airplane had flown into the World Trade Center. Really. I'm not exaggerating. And yes it's a fair analogy, thousands of people have died because of the insane group of people that are running our country.

And poor Sparky. OMG, he's been so fatalistic all day. He actually believes that the country actually agrees with the fundamentalist psycho fear mentality that we are living under. He almost made me believe it. But I don't, I can't, I honestly don't believe the majority of America is that stupid and superstitious. I can't believe people stood in the rain for seven hours to keep the country exactly the way it is. No jobs, no healthcare, people dying daily in a fake war, a fascist monarch regime... I'd lose my mind it I actually believed that. I'm the one who can't watch movies without questioning "how could they do that?" "why would they react that way?". I'm too logical, it drives Sparky nuts, I just have a great deal of difficulty turning my brain off, even to watch a movie.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, it's just so fricking obvious from the results THAT THEY CHEATED! If you know ANYTHING about computers, you know it's not hard to do rig the stupid things. And they would do anything, including starting a war for no good reason, to stay in power. I'm even wondering if they had something to do with the Osama video ('you won't be safe no matter who wins') I worked in the middle of the corporate greed and power trip in the 90's so I saw it all up close and personal. And it scared the crap out of me.

I'm listening to the rebroadcast of Randi Rhodes on Air America right now and she is expressing the righteous anger and disbelief that I know a huge portion of the country is feeling. She really is a goddess, she's been fighting for our rights since the 2000, she lived in Florida in 2000 and experienced the voter fraud personally. She gives me hope and keeps my brain focused. I'm looking at the little sticker I put on the side of my scanner, which I pulled off my tee shirt when I got home yesterday that says "My vote counted", it's making me nauseous. Sparky pulled our yard sign down and ripped all of the stickers off of both of our cars before I woke up today. I really wanted to keep mine. I still have an unused one, thankfully it's still on my desk...

There is already so much evidence of vote tampering it's making my head spin:

Voting boxes here in Texas that flipped straight Democratic votes to Bush-Cheney (oh look, those are the same machines we used here in Houston)

More purging of voters in Florida

25 million NEGATIVE votes pop up in Youngstown, Ohio

We've got to do something to change this screwed up system. Now. They knew that it was almost all going to be untraceable, as did John Kerry apparently when he gave up. My father was speculating on the potential for future civil unrest and violence because of the frustrations of this mess. If we thought it was bad before, we ain't seen nothing yet. And the intelligent MAJORITY of this country now has to spend another four years fighting apathy, stupidity and fear.

And I was really, really looking forward to just the POSSIBILITY of things like health insurance, the return of common sense, a decent economy and possibly world peace.
