Thoughts On Changes

I’m a big MySpacer and I got a few bulletins I really wasn’t expecting in response to the election results of yesturday…

One bulletin was from a EXTREME right-wing conservative. He said he wasn’t happy with the outcome of the election results, but that he has hope for the Obama presidency.

Another was from a very left-wing liberal. He said that he hopes that those of us who voted for Obama are shot right after he is.

These posts have really affected my mood today. On one hand, I’m happy that Obama won, only because he’s more liberal than McCain and I feel our best interests will be something he really looks after and strives towards.

But I’m also saddened, yet not surprised, to see that this election, like all the rest, has not united the country. We’re still stumbling along, just as lost as we were yesturday. We may or may not have a new leader that can help us find our long lost path.

I included the bulletins in here just to show that party lines are thin. You can be as liberal as they come and wholeheartedly support McCain, just as you can be the most conservative person on earth and still wish a democrat luck.

 

I personally have hope for the future. Maybe not the immediate future, but I believe that prosperity will come eventually and that the election yesturday helped to speed up that process.
