Wraaa! Jessica smash!

Those not prepared for gnashing of teeth and rending of garments should not come anywhere near my dorm room; I have been upset all day and have in fact given myself a stomachache through angry eating (it is possible to eat angrily, believe me) and a sore throat through yelling.

Yes, we went into a field and yelled, Natalie and I. It was awesome. It was, basically, the worst day of my life. Two months exactly since the accident, and the American people have chosen to relive the nightmare of the past four years. The ones who have made such horrifying decisions have been rewarded and the frightened people are clinging to them like children to apron strings, praying that their dear leader will protect them, when he has nobody's best interests at heart but those of the incredibly wealthy. It's like they want to be spanked -- the security measures undertaken by this administration do nothing for Americans or the other 96% of the world's population. They only remove the rights that made the United States the leader and light of the world, to be replaced by what? Nothing. I honestly believe that the States can be the greatest country in the world, and can accomplish brilliant things both for itself and for the planet. I am not un-American because I disagree with those in charge at the White House, the Pentagon, the House, and the Senate. I am un-American if I refuse to make my opinions known.

And now, in true Canadian fashion, I apologize for sounding angry, but I am. I am angry that people could let themselves be fooled again by the fear, and the hatred. Greed is fine. It's natural to be greedy. If tax cuts are what you want, then vote Libertarian.

However, if you want to get an irresponsible, unchristian regime out, if you want to have responsible financial policy (e.g. not spending hugely and cutting taxes irresponsibly) coupled with non-incendiary foreign policy, free and just social policy, if you want no arsenic in your water, and a moderate, logical government rather than one that runs on ideology, then please... think hard about your vote's consequences on your fellow citizens, some of whom are on welfare, in the army, being unfairly detained, going to public school, on Medicare, or participating in any of a thousand things that the government does. Heck, think hard about what your vote means to the rest of the human race. It's important. It was important this time but now it's over. Thanks, America, for listening to reason.

Hot venison on a cracker, there are a lot of commas in this.

Nobody much is going to read this; it's not like I have a pulpit or anything here, more of a padded cell, but I needed to say it anyway. Goodnight.
