(no subject)

so basically I can't stand my father 90% of the time, but there is one topic we do agree on and can therefore discuss without killing each other... politics. today he sent this email out to many of his friends and managed start to a flame war between them after the lone Republican hit "reply to all" instead of just replying to my father.


I voted on moral issues.
That’s why I voted for Kerry.
45 million Americans living without health insurance is immoral.
100,000 Iraqi civilians dead for a huge corporate moneymaking fraud is immoral.
36 million Americans living in poverty in land of incredible wealth is immoral.
Prescription drugs out of reach while Republican politicians line the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry is immoral.
Four more years of this idiot and his death-cult of neo-con zealots.
Four more years of American soldiers being used as cannon fodder.
Four more years of scientific decisions being made by people who believe in a ghost in the clouds.
Four more years of debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay off.
Four more years of racists and lunatics for judicial appointments.
Four more years of looting the treasury and squandering it on corporate cronies.
Four more years of making enemies faster than we can kill them.
Four more years of fear and darkness and racism and hatred and stupidity and guns and bad country music.
I look at the big map and all of the red in flyover country and I feel like I've been locked in a room with the slow learners. We have become the country that pulls a dry cleaning bag over its head to play astronaut.
God help us.


Basically sums it up, heh.
