It’s the day after the elections. George Bush won. Many are now trying to choose between the quaintness of Vancouver and the warmth of Mexico. Some are devising a plan to secede. While others still, are planning Canada v2.0.

What crap! I say don’t get mad, get even. Okay, okay. I did a little bit of the mad part. Now I want to get even.

I think the most disturbing part is that one party is in control of both the legislative and executive branches. I would have a problem with this no matter what party was in control. I feel we need those checks and balances. However, our representatives regardless of party affiliations ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES. That means they represent us, the constituents.

Call me an idealist, but I believe we can make our voices heard. No more apathy. No more seething inside, but doing nothing about it. This is our democracy. Let’s get involved. Write letters, get involved in your political party, run for office. Personally, I think we have to believe that we can make a difference. And can we complain if we don’t even try?

I’m hatching a plan. I’ll keep you posted.
