1. sorry for my bad manners

I joined because I feel so alone since I moved to Ky from Vt (don't ask why-too poor to move back home) and my office is freeper central.
I love all you guys, I'm not lonely when I'm here with you but I don't know how I'm going to find the strength to go to work tomorrow (actually it's today)if we lose. I'm so tired of everything, you know?

3. Yea,

I know what you mean. We pick ourselves up and move forward. In a worse case scenario, this was still good. I mean, like, look back at the Vietnam Days. Man, no internet, we had the Berkley Barb, and love-ins. This has been a grand movement, million and millions voted for Kerry, there were fantastic communication networks, young people voted, straight people voted, working people voted, for Kerry. No way did something like this happen during the first two or three years into Vietnam, it took us almost a decade !!!!

Christ, at least we know where we stand, we know the truth and we made a stand. That is so important. Sometimes I think maybe all of us are a little to used to getting things too easy. Kerry's ideals were revolutionary in a sense, and intellectual revolutions are a difficult task, twists and turns all along the way. But always remember this, that when an ideal is sprung, when the seed of an ideal is planted, it never goes away, you can't get rid of it. Maybe the seed is thrown out into a cracked parched earth, but eventually the rains come, and it sprouts.

Hang in there.

2. I've only been registered for 6 weeks or so but

I'm a 30+ woman from Missouri (not far from where the infamous moran picture was taken). I'm pissed about the way this country is going.

I've always voted dem but the past four years has actually changed the core of my being. I'm angrier and more intent than I ever was with the Gore 2000 thievery and this is the first election I have actively participated in other than voting. I have a big mouth and I'm not afraid to use it. I write letters to my reps and my paper when I feel I have something valuable to say.


Also, my 80 pound dog is a huge, sweet wimp and my 12 pound cat bosses me around. The little shit.

There's more but I think I've said enough for now.
