Dark Days

I've been trying to find the right words to say since Wednesday morning but
nothing has come to me. I'm disappointed and sad and confused.

My appetite is shot and I am constantly on the verge of tears. At least twice
a day I become filled with rage which I have been barely holding in check by
running to the point of near exhaustion or at least to the point where my mind
stops spinning.

So it all comes down to morality and the breakdown of "American values"
for some people? And George W. Bush who is waging a bloody war is morally superior
to John Kerry simply because Bush calls himself a Christian? This is as legitimate
as me adding a PHD after my name. Bush can't simply say "I am doing God's
work" and "He's speaking to me" and just be believed, can he?
I mean, he needs to be living the life, walking the walk, the same way I'd need
to be presenting a certificate from an accredited college before I could get
you all to call me, Dr., right? Right....? No, apparently not. All of you in
the red states please address me as Dr. Mrs-Roboto from now on.

You know what, I don't want to talk about red states or blue states because
I know plenty of great people all over this country. I know wonderful people
for whom their religion is central in their lives. I know terrible people who
are godless. I know amazing secular people who would give you the coat off their
back if you asked and so-called Christians who'd rather see gay people murdered
in the streets than married in our churches.

And all of this is just so depressing. We're a nation divided and I'm not sure
where to go with that.
