dummheit ist nicht das selbe wie ignoranz, desinteresse, mangelnde bildung, übermäßiger patriotismus und angeborene/anerzogene scheuklappen...es ist nicht das selbe und es kann von dummheit keine rede sein. das problem ist einfach das das land nunmal so funktioniert und die mächtigen das volk an der kurzen leine halten, es ist nicht ihre schuld.....

17 Reasons Not to Slit Your Wrists...by Michael Moore

(17 gründe nicht zu verzweifeln)

Dear Friends,

Ok, it sucks. Really sucks. But before you go and cash it all in, let's, in the words of Monty Python, ?always look on the bright side of life!? There IS some good news from Tuesday's election.

Here are 17 reasons not to slit your wrists:

1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again.

2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916.

3. Die einzige Altersgruppe, in der die Mehrheit für Kerry gestimmt hat, waren die jungen Erwachsenen (Kerry: 54 Prozent, Bush: 44 Prozent), was einmal mehr beweist, dass eure Eltern immer unrecht haben und ihr niemals auf sie hören solltet

4. In spite of Bush's win, the majority of Americans still think the country is headed in the wrong direction (56%), think the war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don?t approve of the job George W. Bush is doing (52%). (Note to foreigners: Don't try to figure this one out. It's an American thing, like Pop Tarts.)

5. The Republicans will not have a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. If the Democrats do their job, Bush won't be able to pack the Supreme Court with right-wing ideologues. Did I say "if the Democrats do their job?" Um, maybe better to scratch this one.

6. Michigan hat für Kerry gestimmt! Genauso wie der gesamte Nordosten, die Geburtsstätte unserer Demokratie; genauso wie sechs der acht Great-Lakes-Staaten. Und die gesamte Westküste! Plus Hawaii. O.k., das ist ein Anfang. Wir haben den Großteil der Frischwasser-Vorräte, den ganzen Broadway und Mount St. Helens. Wir können sie also dehydrieren oder unter Lava begraben. Und keine Musical-Soundtracks mehr!

7. Once again we are reminded that the buckeye is a nut, and not just any old nut -- a poisonous nut. A great nation was felled by a poisonous nut. May Ohio State pay dearly this Saturday when it faces Michigan.

8. 88% of Bush's support came from white voters. In 50 years, America will no longer have a white majority. Hey, 50 years isn't such a long time! If you're ten years old and reading this, your golden years will be truly golden and you will be well cared for in your old age.

9. Gays, thanks to the ballot measures passed on Tuesday, cannot get married in 11 new states. Thank God. Just think of all those wedding gifts we won't have to buy now.

10. Five more African Americans were elected as members of Congress, including the return of Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. It's always good to have more blacks in there fighting for us and doing the job our candidates can't.

11. The CEO of Coors was defeated for Senate in Colorado. Drink up!

12. Gebt es zu: Wir mögen die Bush-Zwillinge und wollen nicht, dass sie verschwinden

13. At the state legislative level, Democrats picked up a net of at least 3 chambers in Tuesday's elections. Of the 98 partisan-controlled state legislative chambers (house/assembly and senate), Democrats went into the 2004 elections in control of 44 chambers, Republicans controlled 53 chambers, and 1 chamber was tied. After Tuesday, Democrats now control 47 chambers, Republicans control 49 chambers, 1 chamber is tied and 1 chamber (Montana House) is still undecided.

14. Bush ist jetzt eine lahme Ente. (Ein eigentlich abgewählter Präsident, der nur noch auf seine Ablösung/Amtsübergabe wartet, A.d.R.) Er wird keinen größeren Moment erleben als den jetzigen. Von nun an geht's bergab. Und was noch wichtiger ist, er wird gar keine Lust haben, all die harte Arbeit zu machen, die von ihm erwartet wird. Es wird für ihn wie das Abschlussjahr an der Schule sein: Du hast es schon geschafft, also ist Party angesagt! Vielleicht wird er die nächsten vier Jahre wie einen ewigen Freitag behandeln und noch mehr Zeit auf seiner Ranch oder in Kennebunkport verbringen. Und warum sollte er auch nicht? Er hat seinen Punkt ja bereits gemacht, hat seinen Vater gerächt und uns einen Arschtritt verpasst.

15. Should Bush decide to show up to work and take this country down a very dark road, it is also just as likely that either of the following two scenarios will happen: a) Now that he doesn't ever need to pander to the Christian conservatives again to get elected, someone may whisper in his ear that he should spend these last four years building "a legacy" so that history will render a kinder verdict on him and thus he will not push for too aggressive a right-wing agenda; or B) He will become so cocky and arrogant -- and thus, reckless -- that he will commit a blunder of such major proportions that even his own party will have to remove him from office.

16. There are nearly 300 million Americans -- 200 million of them of voting age. We only lost by three and a half million! That's not a landslide -- it means we're almost there. Imagine losing by 20 million. If you had 58 yards to go before you reached the goal line and then you barreled down 55 of those yards, would you stop on the three yard line, pick up the ball and go home crying -- especially when you get to start the next down on the three yard line? Of course not! Buck up! Have hope! More sports analogies are coming!!!

17. Finally and most importantly, over 55 million Americans voted for the candidate dubbed "The #1 Liberal in the Senate." That's more than the total number of voters who voted for either Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Gore. Again, more people voted for Kerry than Reagan. If the media are looking for a trend it should be this -- that so many Americans were, for the first time since Kennedy, willing to vote for an out-and-out liberal. The country has always been filled with evangelicals -- that is not news. What IS news is that so many people have shifted toward a Massachusetts liberal. In fact, that's BIG news. Which means, don't expect the mainstream media, the ones who brought you the Iraq War, to ever report the real truth about November 2, 2004. In fact, it's better that they don't. We'll need the element of surprise in 2008.
