I'm bitter, angry, and disappointed at the American public. I am astounded by the number of people who support Bush. I am frightened at the prospect of four more years. Here are the things that frighten me most about the things that Bush will do in the next four years:

• Bush will have the ability to nominate probably two or three Supreme Court Justices and I expect him to choose candidates as conservative as Scalia and Thomas.
• The continued assault on the environment, in particular Bush will attempt to open of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve for oil drilling, and roll back as many parts of the Clean Air Act as possible.
• The partisan science policies. Appointing scientists who only who have your agenda makes it difficult to have the best and brightest people.
• A woman's right to choose. It's clear that Bush wants to do as much as he possibly can to restrict a woman's right to choose.

Here are some of the things that I am less worried about.

• The war in Iraq: I believe that Bush will do his best to get us out of Iraq. No one wants the conflict in Iraq to last any longer than it should, but neither can we just abandon what we have started there. I believe Kerry would have done better getting us out for the simple reason that Kerry has never alienated all our allies.
• Gay rights. I fully support gay rights, but it's clear that American public does not. Bush will push harder to block gay rights, but he's just following the will of the people.

In his concession speech, Kerry talked about healing the rifts between the two parties. And I heard on NPR a former Bush speechwriter say that Bush honestly felt bad about the level of partisan politics which had divided the nation. I wish I could believe him, and I hope that the two parties do a better job of finding common ground in Bush's second term. But I'm pretty skeptical right now, so I'm not keeping my hopes up.

I can always move to Canada. A better solution would be to have California cede from the US. Oh and someone showed me this new map of North America which might be a bit more accurate.
