I might just quote you on that in the future, thanks :toast:

You raise extremely important points, and I see it as possibly my biggest challenge in the future--to make people feel the fire that I feel, and keep it burning.

Whatever happens, though, people will not soon forget this election. I have seen my friends become involved over the past year or so. I have seen people who knew nothing about politics become self-declared experts. I've seen people educating themselves by turning off their tvs and reading alternative media. I've seen the same kind of disgust that I feel with the neo-conservative movement in the republican party in many of my peers.

If nothing else, I think this election will have shown people that the republican party will abuse power if left unchecked. That simple fact will resonate with me forevermore, and I think it will with others as well. You can't trust a republican, and now a whole lot more people know it.
