CAVEAT:

i'm feeling very nasty tonight. GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Well, thanks, Brianna. Nothing like kicking a dog when its down, hmmm? All the people on this board who like to jump all over me will be happy to hear that I'm pretty depressed right now. It's going to be a very grim 4 years for Americans who need help getting back on their feet or are permanently disabled. You're upset because you had to go back to work. I'm upset because I CAN'T.

The president is our servant, he is there to organize and administrate, nothing else. Polticians have forgotten that. If they keep pushing, Americans are going to be forced to get Jeffersonian.

No, didn't HAVE to--CHOSE to. Working is essential to an individuals sense of well-being and feeling of contributing to the greater good. I chose to go back. I was completely bored and useless sitting at home and after three months of rehab--which I also chose--I went back voluntarily. My situation is very complex and persists in the courts. My only complaint is that the hospital I work for is already pushing the limits of the agreement of my return to work. As in 12 hour shifts. THAT's where my problem is. It's going to be a grim 4 years for every American. Very grim. All those who voted bush get what they deserve. He's an arrogant, smarmy, sniveling moron. Congratulations, America! You've proven yourself UNWORTHY.

Bush is NOBODY's servant. He's an arrogant rich kid with connections thanks to daddy. I can't believe you think he's our "servant"--even HE'd choke on that one. If anything he's cheney's bitch.

I said that the president, and more generally all politicians, are our servants. The fact that they no longer chose, and we allow them, to fullfil their roles properly doesn't change that.

Tell me about it. I feel so damn useless and right now, scared.

So is and does mine. The ability to sit alone in my room and type mis-spelled comments to a bunch of people I'll never meet does not = functional.

I know a little about your situation, Brianna, and that's just WRONG on their part. They are really pushing you to over extend yourself. Does your workplace have EAP or something similar where you could go in to get some arbitration of some sort?

I agree with you, Bush is Cheney's bitch. And Cheney is Halliburten's handmaiden. The American people figure nowhere into the equation except that through stupidity and complacense, they voted for this to go on 4 more years.

Let's just speculate for a moment on "getting Jeffersonian". You're talking a revolution. Civil War. Something the Armed Forces of this country are sworn to protect us against.

The majority of the people of this country think that Bush has done a good job, enough to elect not just him for 4 more years, but also people who think like him, and back his ideas up. Governors. Senators. Representatives. More than half the people in this country think that he has done, is doing, and/or will do a better job than "the other guy" would.

This country of sheep is not going to get "Jeffersonian". It isn't only the politicians who forgot who's supposed to run the store....

Thank you for expressing my thoughts........I'm not beyond the 1 word vocabulary yet this morning .................FU@#.

Mari--I'm sorry I took a pot-shot at you earlier--it wasn't nice. I'm stressed and heartsick and I even took on the legendary Jag last night as my faith in this country completely collapsed. When bushieboy gives his acceptance speech I hope he remembers that half of us DON'T want this stupid, smarmy, rich-kid, who woulda-shoulda-coulda-flunked-out-of-Yale. course, he's not that self-aware. He's an island for chrissakes.

I know. -5 for poor sentance structure.

It wasn't people that were in the majority who started this experiment.

Has everybody vented their drama yet?

I suppose that all of you thought that if Kerry won that Osama would have sent another video tape offering peace and friendship throughout the world, the sky would be bluer than blue (in honor of the democratic victory) and everybody would find a nice, shiny, new hybrid card in the driveway as a thank you gift for being such a good electorate.

It's the presidency. We do this every four years. The people chose. It's over. The country has survived this for the last 228 years. With the exception of a little uprising that got surprised in the mid-19th century, we've been revolution free, unlike MOST OF THE OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

Let it go, and get on with your lives.

Thank you.

[Trilby]

I'm not done with my drama yet.

Legendary? I feel all warm and mythical.
Won't survive that long on this path. If efforts aren't made to rein in the deficit (which I don't see bush doing) then the collapse of fiat currency will happen well within my lifetime if not the lifetime of the vast majority of people here.
