It's official. At least 50% of voting Americans are dumber than a block of sod. We have re-elected a warmongering, unbalanced religious fanatic who believes he was ordained by god to free the world of evil. America had a huge responsibility this election year. We could have proven to the world that despite W's actions since 2001, we really were a competent, peace driven people, capable of creating lasting friendships around the world, but instead, we decided to go on attacking random countries, setting up little pieces of "freedom" all over the world through military action. Very disappointing.

The general dislike towards the US felt the world over was not originally a hatred for the American people, but now that we've re-elected him, who's to say how far the lines between American government and American Citizens will blur for the rest of the world.

Even scarier than the presidential race, many states modified their constitutions yesterday, my own Ohio one of them. The adjustments made would make non-traditional (I.E. Religious based traditions) unions illegal, and in some states, mandate PRISON TIME for anyone performing these ceremonies. Why didn't I just say gay marriages? Because here in Ohio, that's not all we banned. We also did away with civil unions, "single parent" benefits and any other form of benefit for involving legal unions that is not 1 man, and 1 woman.

So much for that Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness thing we tout here. Thank god the law in Ohio is being challenges, I didn't much like the idea that religious and faith based doctrine could become set in stone law. What would be next? Racial segregation again, slavery? Maybe we should make it illegal to not go to an approved church. Or we could tattoo numbers on the inside of people's wrists, just for "identification" purposes.

The one bright spot of the elections was California (I take back all those bad things I said about Arnold being elected) approving law that makes human stem cell research legal, and provides government funding for it. What a huge step in the right direction.
