As I think I said on some earlier thread, I'm ready to move to any state or states that would like to declare this "president" a usurper, and secede. I'm only half in jest. I feel that the nation is so polarized that the two halves will never come together. Politically we don't just disagree, we seem to absolutely hate each other. When Clinton was in office, whom I loved and supported as a political leader in spite of his personal immorality, the people who hated him were virulent, relentless and violent in their attacks on him. I was sick over the impeachment, which I saw as a gross abuse of the impeachment process over basically personal, not national, not even professional failings. I can't stand this administration, and I see Dubya as an elitist, environmentally and politically disastrous panderer to the money-power-huge-corporate class.

I'd like to live in a country that still had some sense of goodness and innocence to it. My daughter feels that it's easier to raise her son as a spiritual and ethical person in war-torn Israel than in the TV-torn, money-corrupted, arrogant empire of Dubya's USA.
