🦋 A thought

I have often heard the slogan, "We get the government we deserve." -- I have heard this slogan, and I believe it is frequently intended, as a snide condemnation of the voting public. But suddenly I find myself taking it to heart, and taking it very personally. I find myself absolutely petrified that Bush may win, and that it will reflect negatively on me personally. What could I have done to deserve such a government?

Update: Oh shit. The election results look really bad. Still no way of telling what the outcome of the presidential race will be (as of 11:23 pm election day) but Kerry has failed to secure the decisive victory we needed. And the Republican house and senate majorities are set to increase. Just this afternoon I was feeling on top of the world and now I am falling. Time to go read Slacktivist.
