I sympathize. I do, profoundly. I ask myself this question over and over. Some days I think that we will emerge from this nightmare. That we will as a nation graviate again to leaders like Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy. That America will once again become a place where the best and the brightest are rewarded with the responsibilities of high office. That we won't settle for a gun toting, small town mayor with a nice smile and big family as commander in chief. Then, I remember that in 2004 a large plurality of Americans voted Bush jr. back into office and I fear that may very well happend again. Then, I get depressed.
