Here's to Hope

Whether it is Kerry or Bush who wins this November, we will be the same country, the same people. The leader of this country has great authority and power, but only with our permission can he govern. When our country suffered during the great depression, we made ends meet through persistance, ingenuity, and sacrafice. We learned to live on less, rely on ourselves, and at a last resort, on the kindness of others. Lean times teach us what really matters in life and how little we really need.
We are a fat nation. Like those supple upbove ground dwellers on the time machine, we are ignorant of our past or who carries the laborous feast that we feed on. We are doomed to be feasted upon like cattle.
