George W. Bush. It is getting to be almost a joke. But it's not freakin funny. One week ago, G.W. awarded with he honor of being elected with the most popular votes any president has received in American history. John Kerry has the honor of holding second place. Many people think the two candidates are equally aweful (..and any don't). As an active political bigmouth optimist I am going to echo the sentiment of a good friend in Ireland. This is an unprecidented opportunity for activists, truth-seekers, and plain old people who are engaged in participating in the American political system, who have concern about our global community, who are concerned about the natural environment, and who are concerned with human rights. Now especially is the time for our generation to not become apathetic, but to continue to work toward change. The election of George Bush as American president can only fuel our fire to insist upon it. Rather than powerlessness or defeat, this is our chance to make it our daily work, our life's work, to rectify damage and to change the very things we criticise about the current hypocritical political administration that has infused our lives with fear and powerlessness and wreaked havoc on international relations. It will most likely get worse before it gets better. But as we have seen from our parents' generation, change does not happen quickly. And it doesn't happen at all if we give up. Someone's got to run the country in the future...So, activists and moderates who are sickofitall, G W Bush will be sure to give us, over the next four years, the prime opportunity to work even harder, in whatever way each of us do, toward contributing to a global community that is more peaceful for ourselves & for generations to come.
