Unlikely Underdog

Surprisingly enough for a reasonable person, I suddenly feel energised by the re-election of George W. Bush.

Of course, I still think it's bad news in the sort term. But I feel more will than ever to fight what has led to this outcome. I don't want to please those who can't stand homosexuality and racial difference, those who promote large inequality and intolerance. They're plain wrong and they need to be told. They want to shout names, to despise, so be it. But they're still wrong and we shall be standing against the wind to tell them. In the name of reason, in the name of humanity, on the name of intelligence, there is an uphill battle to be fought in the United States.
