Well, ok. Thanks to Rianne for sending me this link. It seems to have helped in calming me down and being a little less volatile and vitriolic about things. In fact, I hope there will be calm and patience on November 2nd south of the 49th. I hope that there is a clear decision that the people of the US of A can abide by. And since it's a situation I can't really do all that much about, it's best I just let it happen and hope for the best.
But don't get me wrong, I still really really hope that Bush will be defeated. And I'm not alone...
-Bush Relatives for Kerry is an encouraging website. Even his own 'kin can't stomach him!
-Of all the pieces written in the magazine The American Conservative that make "the conservative case" for each of the presidential candidates, the one for Kerry is the most convincing.
-Former and current soliers in the US armed forces are speaking out against the war in Iraq and Bush's policies. Check out Operation Truth and Fight to Survive.

I don't know if there's a direct correlation but shortly after Jon Stewart dressed down CNN's Tucker Carlson for being a 'partisan hack' who is 'harming America', an ABC affiliate in Minnisota finds some footage of their embedded journalists being shown around a building full of explosives near Al Qaaqa, where the 370+ tons went missing. Check it out:5 EYEWITNESS NEWS video may be linked to missing explosives in Iraq. The smoking gun of incompetence?
No, no. Don't secure the explosives, hurry up and get to Bagdad! The people will be handing out flowers and waving American flags!!
But, don't listen to me, American voters. I know how much meddling outsiders can annoy you. Forge your own INFORMED opinion.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU VOTE. And have fun.
