I'm pretty sure you know that half the country voted against Bush and his warmongering cronism approaches to pretty much everything. So it's a little ridiculous to tar us all with that brush.

I strongly believe that I should be able to choose the initiatives I would like my financial support to be thrown behind - sadly, as the US is established as a representative republic, I am not provided that option. So the best I can do is work at the grassroots level to make changes *I* believe in until the allegedly elected "officials" are aligned with me. Sadly, that's not really all that likely to happen.
