I spent four long years looking forward to Nov. 2, 2004. The result was intensely disappointing.

I can't be angry about this stuff any more, it poisons you after awhile. I even plan on changing my name from mad_as_hell to something calmer.

It's not that I give up or don't care. It's just what can you do? There's no sense torturing yourself. So I've tuned out of much of the political scene and rhetoric. It is all very predictable anyway.

I'll stick to DU & LBN, AAR and The Daily Show plus a scan of the local newspaper. I just don't need the rest of the blather.

Events will dictate what happens. The Republicans may crash and burn depending on the economy, terra, environmental problems, energy and so forth. Until Americans focus on real problems I fear that we'll continue down this unfortunate path.

For now I've got to focus on the small things that I can actually have an affect on. You have to find some battles that you can win.
