I'm not sick, but I'm not well

I've had a stupid dry cough for days.

I have kind of avoided the issue, avoided thinking about it, but I, like every other self-righteous neighbour of the Americans, must discuss the Bush re-administration. People keep wondering: how did he win? Everyone has specific answers: fear, undereducation, etc. but at its most general principle, Bush just told them what the wanted to hear. He created the want with some help from 9/11, and then told them over and over again the only thing they needed to hear. That's it. Notice that New York, the state that was most devastated by the event, when two-thirds in Kerry's favour. They're not buying it. But the majority of America is.

USA is no longer about ideals. Each individual is about themselves, about one's own safety. Bush took care of the American conscience too, masquerading the selfishness behind ideals. With every action that Bush takes he is leading America into a hive of fear and villainy. But let's face it, he's just doing what America wants. Bush is merely the aspect of the evolution of America from a country of ideals to a country of selfish egocentricity. The majority of Americans are already there, have evolved over much time, took a big huge leap here and there.

So just remember, as much as we can blame Bush for being a warmongering criminal, he is but a reflection of America and its future.

I'm going out to buy a bulletproof vest.
