And that goes double for you, Ohio.
And for good measure, my statement of defiance:
After all, the only reasonable response to such electoral results is to dance your (shiny, metal) ass off.
There is not a vote conceivable where I could be more disappointed (that doesn't involve Nazis invading or zombie-Nixon being elected president), with every anti-same sex marriage ammendment among the states passing handily, in addition to the re-election of Emperor W. Evidently I over-estimated the commonality of my secular political views. I'm wondering if I can change my mind about the whole Canada thing. (I LOVE YOU, CANADA!!! You have good drama festivals and attractive roadways!)
That is all.

You can find me either at The Beer Store, or at Tim Horton's.
From the Request Line: "Bendin' In The Wind."
Bender is great. Go Bender. Do the Bender. Sigh.
(man, I need way more liquor than I can possibly consume to get through work today)
I'm resigned to living in a Blue state for the rest of my natural born life, because them Red states is full of Stepford voters. Next time, maybe I'll help get out the orthodox agnostic vote.
It's not wrong, I'm simply disappointed to see that, yet again, I am in the minority. And that My People (the faggots and lesbians of the U.S.A.) have been used as a tool to get out the vote for the current regime. It didn't really take me by surprise, but I had hoped that the vote would concentrate more on the significant issues of the economy and the war in Iraq than on the hobgoblin of gay marriage and "traditional morality".
If Kerry were in Bush's position, I guarantee that the Republicans would be just as upset.
Now, sir, I have to ask: why do you care what I think?
Also: a majority opinion is not neccessarilly right. And believe me, I have no great love for Michael Moore; he's a bullying loud mouth, every bit as offensive to me as Rush Limbaugh.
In the cold light of evening, I've decided to stay in the U.S. For now. (My brother's threatening to move to Canada, though; he used to be reasonably conservative, but he went to U of M and joined AmeriCorps, and now he's more liberal than me. By the way, I'm liberal, and proud of it.) And while I would like to live in the San Fransisco area, I suspect I will never earn enough money to affor to live there. However, my other choices (Chicago or Oregon or Washington) all came in as blue states, so I should be OK.
I have decided that, next election, I'm going to do my voting on the issue of "untraditional morality". I want to see my untraditional morals reflected in my elected officials. My ultimate goal will be to elect a Buddhist as president, preferably an African-American lesbian Buddhist English major single-mother. A woman who won't pursue a useless and bloody war on singularly spurious evidence while blithering on about "values". One who places more value on human lives (both in and outside the United States) than on ideology. Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
