actually---and i am dead serious about this---i am considering leaving the states if bush "wins" or wins another term.

because i would have to conclude from a second bushterm that this place is hopeless.
which is not an easy position to be put into.

because this is not a joke, i wonder as i sit here if i should post it in this space at all.

like i said earlier, while i might understand that the whole of american pseudo-democracy is at this point little more that faction rotation within the oligarchy, i reject entirely the idea that there is therefore no difference between the factions.

if it comes to this--and i hope it does not---i expect that watching the elections result in a second term for cowboy george and his band of incompents would be worse than watching the sequence in oedipus where he puts out his own eyes---because it would not be a play---i would not be able to leave it and assume that the world i left when i entered the theater would be more or less the same when i exited the theater.
