not that Kerry represented freedom, he didnt but it would be a step back from where Bush is determined to take us, into permanent martial law.
People also chose religious values of the christian evangelical variety over the constant erosion of their rights in the public places. I can sympathise as I cant put the tem commandments on the courthouse walls but my children are taught about mother nature, a female earth spirit who watches every move I make on this earth.
A lot of people voted, best turnout in years, lets hope that in 4 years we can dimly see what this nation used to be and establish enclaves of freedom in the corners of this nation in urban, suberban and rural small town America to keep the dream alive.
