There are a number of things that scare me - I'll list a couple:
1- That somewhere around 50% of the voting population refuse to accept that pretty much every single thing Bush has tried, has failed. And yet all they can do is say "don't vote for Kerry". Anyone but Kerry? But he hasn't been the failed President for 4 year. It scares me how backwards some people seem to be.
2- That a significant portion of the conservative base, likely including the born-again Christian President himself, believe that the events in the Middle East is the beginning of the Rapture and fully expect the Messiah to return as the "good" battle is fought in the Holy Land. It scares me that we were supposed to be intelligent enough to discern rational judgement from religious judgement, and we are progressively failing more and more.
There are a dozen or so more things that scare me. The (un)likelyhood of Kerry signing the U.S. military into the hands of the U.N. is not one of them.
