THE SADDEST DAY!!

To all my friends,

It's 3.15 am on Nov. 3. 2004

Finally, the reality has unfolded.

It has been all day that my emotion has gone up and down according to the exit polls and all political blogs. Hope becomes hopeless, joy becomes joyless and excitement becomes anxiety. Since midnight, I have been in a denial stage.

Bush has won the re-election. Even though I have tried so hard not to get too
emotional, it's very hard for me not to have an anxiety and heart broken.

However, the American people have already made up their minds to have this President (and the both houses) to lead this country into the extreme right wing agenda.

The American people, for the next 4 years, will consume value not food on the
table.

They will not have affordable health care, but they don't care
because those people will go down on their knees and pray to God to cure their sickness.

They will have to send their kids to the unjust war. Then, they will have to pray to
their Almighty to protect their kids from dying young.

Iraq will turn to be another Vietnam tradegy.

This Administration will explore their pre-emptive doctrine on other
countries like Iran or North Korea.

The seniors will lose their social security benefits because this administration will privatize the only nest egg they have in order to benefit their friends' in financial sector.

We will have to drink water with more chemical contamination, and breathe the air with more lead and carbon dioxide.

The unfortunate minority group like gay people will be excluded from this great society.

American workers will have less safety in the work place and their ability to file the lawsuit against those greedy corporations will be diminished.

Anyway, my mind is too overwhelming. I just want to let you guys know that
these coming decades will be the right-wing nut, evanlegical christian,
conservative era for the American society!

The new deal era and the great society era will be long gone.

I think I should abondon all news channel for a while!

Better go to bed before my passion blows up!!
