The sun will come out tomorrow?

There are few moments in your lifetime that will be cataloged in the annals of history. The presidential election of 2008 will be one of them. But what will the history books write about this time in our nation’s short history? Only time will tell. As I have followed this campaign and listened to the political rhetoric I have become disillusioned with the democratic process in this country. I have talked (argued) with people on both sides of the fence and I have come to realize just how dangerous power in the hands of the uninformed can be! It seems to me that people will believe almost anything they see on TV and this “Sheeple” mentality will now affect us all and we will reap what we sow!! Our country (for the most part) has made an important decision based on a narrow focus and scope. We have ignored the big picture and now the big picture will show us exactly what we’ve done and it is only then that we will look back on this moment. We will bury our face in our hands and we will say to ourselves “Why?”. It is at that point that we must look in the mirror and there is where we will have to place the blame. We voted with our hearts when now, more than ever, we should have voted with our heads. The checks and balances that are so integral to the balance of our government are now tenuous at best. Congratulations America! You got what you deserve!
