My condolences to pretty much all my friends.

And to the world, this: "Hang in there. You survived (kinda-sorta) the past four years, you are likely to survive (kinda-sorta) the next four years as well. Hopefully, and with some luck."

I didn't even know how much I was hoping for Kerry until the results turned out in favour of Bush. The incompetence-vs-irresolution issue had left me uncertain for a long time, but I now realize it was the old change-vs-stability issue that would most make the difference in me if I could vote in these elections. Not being happy with the face of either US policy or the face of the world with Bush as the US President, I could only wish for a change and then wish for the best.

One thing's for certain though: The inability to declare a clear undisputed victory in the last two elections harms USA's democracy a great deal.

I had high hopes too. On election day I even went to a Greek restaurant in honor of democracy. The problem with American politics is that the politicians have figured everything out. They know how to control the media, and they know how to control the people. They've got us pegged.
