ELECTION DESPAIR
To get over it will take a while. If ever. I used to follow the news assiduously, but now I hardly care.
51% voted for a person who doesn't believe in evolution. And, according to a study by a project at the University of Maryland., 70% of Bush supporters believe that we have "clear evidence" that Saddam Hussein was working closely with Al Qaeda, one-third of them believe that we found weapons of mass destruction, and one-third believe that a substantial majority of world opinion supported our invasion of Iraq.
So it was not just "moral values" and religion. Or is ignorance a religion?
