Geez Harry, we aren't there yet. While I found the election results
*very* discouraging, I have faith in the resilience of this great country.
We will survive this administration. Also, don't forget, that since
Eisenhower, the Republicans haven't been able to run this country without
shooting themselves. I'm sure with all the zealots, the DeLays, history
will repeat itself.

My feeling is that we have so alienated the rest of the world that when
the next wave of terrorist attacks hits us, the consensus will be: those
arrogant Americans deserved it. And you know what...with the tens of
thousands of absolutely innocent civilians Bush is killing with aplomb,
it would be hard to argue against that opinion.

I've got a large piece of undeveloped land in Northern Virginia I've
owned for a very long time. I was going to develop it into 18-20 lots
for single-family estate houses. I'm thinking of selling it off now,
paying my capital gains taxes, and placing the proceeds offshore in a
safe, non-belligerent country.

I have no desire to live in a theocracy.

Then don't.

Later,
