We have a little over a year until Bush leaves office. By this time the majority of the people in charge and the informed public are pissed at our president. We are a democratic nation, so instead of raising our pitchforks and stomping under the proverbial presidential balcony, we simply vote against war funding and crap like that. Sure, there may be some citizens that are so closed-minded and blinded by religion or whatever that they refuse to move along with the 21st century; and sure, our government is a corrupt piece of crap; but we have a higher standard of living than most countries out there.

Next time someone tells me that they're an asshole because they've had a bad life, I'm stabbing them in the eye with a spork.
