E-day 2004, part 2

OK, I was pretty sure the hope of landslide was just wishful thinking.

But as I watch the map turn red -- although as I write, it's still "too early to call" -- I wonder if it's just wishful thinking to expect people to THINK, fer-cryin-out-loud.

In the richest country in the world, children go to bed hungry, while the rich get tax cuts and no-bid federal contracts. Do people not KNOW, or do they just not CARE?

The newly-created jobs our Fearless Leader keeps mentioning pay, on average, over $8000 per year less than the jobs that have been lost under his administration. Do people not KNOW, or do they just not CARE?

Bin Laden can send out videos because instead of carrying out the "War on Terror," we went to Iraq instead. Do people not KNOW, or do they just not CARE?

We are the shame of the developed world when it comes to health care availability for our citizens. Do people not KNOW, or do they just not CARE?

The U.S. no longer even has energy or environmental policies, except as they related to helping the rich get richer. Do people not KNOW, or do they just not CARE?

No, these are not rhetorical questions. I truly do not understand. As Yul Brynner said in "The King and I:" Is a puzzlement!
