Post Election Day Blues

It happened. The United States will be governed by its heartland, the conservative, Bible-thumping, moralistic and ignorant right-of-center majority. It is grim and depressing. This is a group that do not like education and intelligence, preferring the simple and country act of George the 44th, I think it is. We are the horror of the world. We have a self-proclaimed "strong leader" who does not lead but is lead by his handlers. Woe be to separation of church and state; woe be to individual freedoms to marry, to abort; woe be to the environment, to the concept of global inter-relatedness and unity. Woe to science in lieu of creationist dogma. We had an opportunity to choose ideas, hope and fairness, but we choose to continue our present state of disaster, fear-mongering and the scorching view of the world. America is the biggest ostrich in the world, a big, stupid bird with its head far beneath the sands of time. How is it that there are so many uninformed voters in this country, so many fools marching over a cliff and off to war?
