One thing I have always wondered is why Americans really care one way or the other who wins the presidential race. Democrats and Republicans are both marked conservative, with little by way of real idealogical difference between them. America is constrained by it's complete inability to see the world in any context other than in relation to itself. Big business rules national policy. Neither party raised the needs of the lower/working class, rather focusing on Kerry's middle classes and Bush's business classes.
Why do we bother. Whatever happens America will treat us as second class citizens of an American world. I can't help but think that the American Dream is the Global Nightmare.

I am so ashamed to be an American today.

There, there, Lana. I'm sure you did your part. Just that --- hell, it's a democracy, ain't it?
