I actually fucking cried when I read "KERRY CONCEDES" as the headline to tonight's newspaper. Stupid fucking Ohioans. I kind of always knew while living there that they'd be responsible for the end of the world somehow. Guess I was right.

It affects my everyday life moreso than others'. My future "career" being an adult ed teacher in most likely non-profit or government funded centers and programs... of which there seem to be fewer these days. And the AmeriCorps program is going down the poop shute, though I've already done my maximum 2 years of that, there's still the VISTA program that gives a cash award upon completion, as well as any staff positions I may be able to get. Then there's the Peace Corps that I wanted to do, damned if I'm going ANYWHERE outside these borders and telling anyone what country I come from. Course I might not get that far seeing I can't afford to finish my degrees. The whole thing is frightening. Stocks and oil prices jumped like crazy, and that scares me. People keep losing jobs, factories around here are closing all the time, my mom's is soon to follow. They doubled the price of filing bankruptcy seeing the rate of people filing nearly doubled after 9-11-01, a cheap and ugly scam against the already poor. I will never be able to get out of debt. I will never make enough money to pay back my student loans. My future didn't look all that promising before, and now it's even more bleak. This country is in sad mother fucking shape. It makes me want to stockpile guns and canned goods, hide out in a basement somewhere while printing pro civil war leaflets. And I'm probably not the only one. It's all starting to make sense.

Here's the NOFX song that's been in my head for the last couple of days, will be in there for about 4 more years....

Mensa membership exceeding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, is it really elementary?
The industrial revolution
has flipped a bitch on evolution.
The benevolent and wise
are being thwarted, ostracized,
what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber.
Insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason.

Darwin's rollin over in his coffin
cuz the fittest are surviving much less often.
Now everything seems to be reversing,
and it's worsening.
Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool,
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule.
And Im starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston
stranded on a primate planet.
With apes and orangutans that ran it
to the ground,
with the generals and the armies that obeyed them.
Followers following fables,
philosophies that enable
them to rule without regard.

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated.
Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred.
Majority-rule don't work in mental institutions.
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions.

What are we left with?
A nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland,
pass on traditions,
how to get ahead religions,
and prosperity via simpleton culture.

The idiots are taking over (ahhhh!!!)

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
