So here I am, getting ready to travel again. Oh joy, oh rapture, oh bliss. At least the B.H. is at the other end of this particular journey.
I note with alarm--but not surprise, because I rather suspected that this would happen--that the current administration is looking for ways to postpone the election in case of terrorist attacks. Like terrorist attacks themselves, I do not believe that this is a partisan issue--I would like to believe that any Republicans reading this are as horrified as I am that an elected government would consider interfering with the regular workings of American democracy (clunky though they may be) for anything less than total catastrophe. Such a thing would be nothing less than the establishment of a tyranny.

Date: 2004-07-15 02:55 pm (UTC)I am reminded of a job interview I had recently at which one of the interviewers, who knows me very well, warned me about the others on the panel with, "Just, don't frighten them too much."
Argh!
