Now the thing is, for those of you on my friend's list who are concerned about that discrepency between the exit polls in certain states and the final countings, but cautiously hopeful that there'll be a 'logical explanation' for it in the end...a couple of things to consider:

a.) If Bush only needed a couple of contested states in order to 'win'...then only a couple of contested states would need to have voter fraud committed in them (should his party have stooped to such tactics) in order to insure his win.

b.) In the event that our elections become no longer actually 'free', no longer a process that renders the peoples' judgement towards our politicians....the Illusion that one's vote is accurately counted and still has an effect upon those politicians will continue on for some time.

Just something to think about.

Whew...

Despite my dour insinuations (and in chat, outright rants) of Doom & Gloom the past couple of days, finally got me equanimity back. (That, or it's the hypomania from this morning's lovely coffee, but hey, whatever works... )

Seriously, though, folks...

Even though I do believe that subversive, anti-democratic elements now ensconced within our current administration are going to try to dump some seriously nasty sh*t down on us all in the not-too-distant future....

...doesn't mean we have to just roll over and take it.

KWIM, Jellybean?

There are ways, and there are ways...

Don't get me wrong; I remain, over-all, pretty darned Cynical... (Or is that 'realistic'?)

Still, due to this influx of fresh optimism, I hearby christian myself 'The Merry Warrior'.
