temporal mian,

.... let`s talk about it in a year ........ your fears are ill-founded .......... the beauty of the american political system is that the pendulum never swings too far from the center - it had swung too far to the left under clinton and it was time for a correction ............ as far as the rest of the world is concerned bush will go down as the patron saint of freedom and democracy .............

.......... and let`s not forget that bobby jindal is a republican ............ of all the places, he won from louisana !...... imagine .............. so the republicans are not the hooded cross-burining racists that people make them out to be ............

............. but he did have to give up praying to an elephant-nosed god as soon as he was old enough to figure out how silly he looked and couldn`t get the girls to take him seriously .......... instead, now, he prays to a dead naked man strapped to a wooden cross before he sits down to suck the brains out of crawdads with his people who crawl out of the swamp every sunday .........

..... lets` rejoice !

............ the stock market is up, there is no management change to get us off course, freedom and democracy is taking root in afghanistan and iraq, the tax cut will be permanent, social security is a sacred cow nobody will touch, osama and is one-eyed relative are burrowing deeper into their caves.............. the world is better place to live in for all of us

..............so cut out the whining

it is a time to rejoice !

........ the stock market is up, more tax cuts, less government, freedom for the people of afghanistan and iraq (maybe iran too), no flip-flops and no elitist hollywood crap that doesn`t mean diddly to joe sixpack...........

.......... on the flip side: we are faced with a fiscal disaster unless taxes are raised or spending is cut and the lunatic christian fringe might try to introduce nonsense like prayer in school and a constitutional ban on gay marriages..............

........... as for ram das and allah ditta, what do they have to do with an election in america ?....... they should stick to chasing their goat, or whatever it is that those people do over there ................

p.s. i did vote against the silly ban against gay unions - the constitution should protect folks rights instead of taking them away ............ that is what differentiates civilized people from muslims and other religious zealots .......... and i am sorry it passed - it is a little scary to think that my friends and neighbors are homophobes

Temporal Sahib you seemed overwhemled by Musharrafana Soch...When Feeqa and Hamida donot get living higher they shouldnot vote , do the chores, grind under vehicles each day and lay to sleep to make another day...There is no hope for better tomorrow:

Jab halaat nahi Badalnay tu Hukmaran Badalnay say kia hota, Jab Democracy nahi a sakti to Election munsifana karanay say kia hasil...

zaalim zul’m karega aur
mazloom bardasht karega
who said it is about choices, eh?


I remembered of a nice poetry piece:


zulm phir zulm hai, baDtaa hai to miT jaataa hai
khoon phir khoon hai, Tapkegaa to jam jaayegaa

zulm ki baat hi kyaa, zulm ki auqaat hi kyaa
zulm bas zulm hai, aagaaz se anjaam talak

khoon phir khoon hai, sau shaql badal saktaa hai
aesee shaqleN ke miTaao to miTaaye na bane
aese sholay ke bujhaao to bujhaaye na bane
aese naaray ke dabaao to dabaaye na bane!

Temporal, learning to be happy with what you have is a good enough choice. There`s always light at the end of the tunnel. It`s just a matter of perspective. And you speak of politicians and the repressed. Please! Lighten up.

re: Temporal

Yaar, it is about choices but it is not about our choices. ;)

Ciao
