Time to Reflect
As I suspect you all have heard, the Bush campaign is giving Kerry "time to reflect" on the numbers in Ohio. I, too, have taken time to reflect, and I have noted the following:
Supposedly what has swung the tide Bush's way are people for whom "moral values" were the most important factor in deciding their vote. What does that even fucking mean?
- I live in a country where the potential for life (call it an unborn child, call it a fetus, whatever) has more value than the lives of those walking, talking, and breathing - especially if those people are poor.
- I live in a country where people are more concerned about defining marriage as between a man and a woman than in ensuring equal rights for all people.
- I live in a country in which a newly elected senator has said publicly that single mothers and gay people should not be allowed to teach in the public schools.
