Four more gruesome years?

After six hours of being glued to the TV switching among PBS, ABC and CNN, I can thoughtfully say that this is one of the worst days of my life. Unless we see a miracle in the Ohio count, our country and our planet now face four more years of
George W. Bush.

How many more young Americans will be sent to their deaths? Will Bush kill another 100,000 Iraqi children, women and
men? How much more can he stoke Arab and Muslim rage? How many more young terrorists will he create? Will he start another illegal, premptive war? And how many more forests will see bulldozers cutting roads for corporate trucks? How many more environmental protections will be trashed? Will we get another Scalia, another Thomas? How much wider and deeper can Bush dig the chasm between the rich and the poor? How much more can he take from education and health care to put into the pockets of his millionaire and billionaire buddies? How much more will he cater to religious fanatics?

And how on earth did over fifty percent of voters come to support this man?

From here the future looks ghastly.
