The sad thing is that many people gave their life and in some cases died for the full enfranchisement we have today. That would be enough to make me vote. But it's your decision. I understand that American politics differ from other democracys.
I was almost in tears when I found out that Kerry had conceded. The world really needed a break from the tension, but another four years of a Bush foreign policy will send many many poor people to their graves. The american people will lose their jobs and their houses eventually now, unless they exist in the upper middle class. Everyone will feel this right across America. And the world. America in one hell of a lot of debt compared to the balanced budget of the Clinton days. This will only get worse now and I'd hate to see any tension between China and America over borrowing. We could face another cold war quite easily down that route. Homeland security is a joke in America at the moment and I would not be surprised to see another terrorist attack on American soil, because it helps keep the people scared. Bush can do anything whilst the general populace is fearful. The Patriot Act was just the start, mark my words...
