How sad, how strange. With the election over in nothing as oh so convoluted as what happened in '04, I find myself a bit...sad. More angry than sad, honestly, but the sadness is there. Black. Well...more of a light grey. See what I did there, English Way? I can rhyme but have no time, moving on. The reason for such sadness is the left, that which holds a majority in the house and senate, and of course controls the executive branch. One would think that with the blatant anti-intellectualism that went on in the republican branch, and the insanity of the last 8 years that I can only honestly describe as fucking retarded...one would think there would be a new age of thought and emphasis on the growth of the mind. I wish this were true, but it is not. The right seems very RIGHT to me, but the left...it seems centrist at best. The things that I care about are not voiced as clearly or as strongly as I would like. The very idea of Obama scoffing at the legalization of marijuana is predictable, but all the same lamentable. Political suicide, maybe...but times are tough. There needs to be a hard ass that says "Hey, we can't play this game anymore." But I think we all know that isn't happening in this President, as much as I like and respect him. But he plays it too safe, when in the past 8 years the last administration did everything but. And the torture that went on...that which actually made me memorize how to spell the word, it isn't being handled in the correct way, in my mind. Is it what the Nazis did? Is it what Imperial Japan did? No, and iffy no respectively. But it is certainly a step too far. There should be some powerful leftest that says "Hey, that is NOT ok, and you KNEW it wasn't ok!". Try to get the nation back to harmony, instead of covering it up as "partisan". Sadly, we see nothing of that from the democrats, like always. Dumb ideas or no ideas? Apathy usually does less damage than extreme retardation, but it's funny how life works sometimes.
Oh well. At least there's no talk from them about another Assault Weapons Ban.
