I Wear Black on the Outside Because Black is How I Feel on the Inside

To my fellow Americans who voted for Bush, I firmly believe that you fully deserve what you’re gonna get. If that means that your sons and daughters will be drafted to be slaughtered in Iraq, so be it. If that means that contraceptives, medically-accurate sex ed, and abortion are not available to you, your wife, or your children, so be it. If that means that your job is sent overseas and your unemployment benefits don’t even begin to cover your bills, so be it. If that means that our country burrows itself deeper into record deficits in order to lavish even more tax breaks on the rich and corporations while shifting the tax burden onto the middle class and poor, so be it. If it means that you or your company cannot afford health insurance so you and your kids go without health care, so be it. If it means that your local public school becomes little more than a holding pen for your kids during the day, so be it. If that means the judge in your trial favors corporations or the government over your individual civil liberties, so be it. If that means that the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the land you live on poisons you and your family, so be it. If that means that you can be discriminated against because of your gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or country of origin, so be it. If that means that their ends justify their means, so be it.

But don’t kid yourselves folks, Bush and the GOP don’t represent your interests, and never will. They don’t want to solve our problems. And they don’t really care about your values. They worship power and wealth and will do anything to consolidate their hold on both.

Well, you've got the "anger" stage of grief done with. Only a few more stages to go. Seriously though, I feel your pain. It's not a good place to be right now.

As Johnny Rotten rants in the PiL song "Rise," "Anger is an energy!"
