Yip. That about sums it up...

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.


"Second Coming"
William Butler Yeats

1. It sure is painful to have to accept the concept that justice and truth do not always prevail..
in fact...more and more it seems that they hardly ever prevail. :(

Not necessarily so. They do prevail more often than you may think. When you're upset about a defeat, it's just easy to forget that. Totally understandable.

4. Link please!!! (LOL)
I think it's good to look at positives as well, but I don't see many substantial victories. My biggest hope isn't Obama, it's the people who voted for him, the people who rallied under "the idea of Obama" and fought for him.
