Things I expect to lose if GWB is elected:

My right to choose

Any tenuous legality of gay marriages or civil unions

My privacy

My pension

My job

Any school system both good enough and affordable enough to send my children

The ability to travel safely abroad

My freedom of speech

My trust in the basic intelligence of the American people

I keep having thoughts with headers like "New American Dark Age," and I keep thinking about the 1930s... we're going to have to spend the next forty years as a persecuted minority to undo all this damage. If it ever gets undone at all.

EDIT: Oddly enough, sanity came to me from the vehicle of Slashdot. Yes, most of the above things are true at least in part. But what am I going to do, jump ship and move to Canada? No. I stay here and fight against a government that I think is idiotic. I don't sit around and suffer through it, I find something I can do about it.

That's all there is to it, really. Time to step up.
