Just a Quick post (since I have to leave for work soon) to say I'm scared and want to hope. I am afraid of what we just swore in to lead our country. I want to believe him. I want to believe in the betterment of the state of our great nation. I want to believe things will get better for so many in despair. I want to believe that this can be done without make my life worse (higher taxes for middle class, forcing me to pay for "programs" I don't support, etc.). I want to see the good "change" the blind followers feel and see. I want to believe we can rise to the "Great" country we once were, both in our eyes and that of other countries (even if it was fear in their eyes).I want to not think back to the many who followed Hitler believing. I want to not worry about the Big Brother syndrome of little by little changes that result in many blind followers and a huge change in the world from the top down. I want to ignore history and believe - or at least believe things won't get worse. I want to believe, but I can't. And I'm afraid. And I'm sad. And I'm praying. LOTS of praying.
- Song by -not sure who wrote it, but I love the lyrics from My Fellow Americans. :)

I know how you feel....I felt that way in 2000. And I remember telling my sister after that election that she was TOO worried, because I didn't think that one man could F*%$ up the country all by himself in 4 years.....and then later, I remember apologizing because I was so wrong.
So your afraid now and I'm full of hope. Read this and see what the last 8 years brought us.
