OT So why hasn't the sky fallen?

Holding people accountable for the things they predict is good, isn't it?
I mean, "what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander," to put
it in other words. Just before the election a whole lot of people
predicted very dire things if Bush won. I don't mean stuff like global
warming or N. Korea which may take a few years to really be evident. I
mean "right now" things. Yet all the (surviving) politicians seem to be
taking sort of a "ho-hum" position. Some of the very same people who were
so rabid a few months ago are now taking a wait until 2006 or 2008 stance.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Bush. I find the likes of Al Sharpton to
be way too conservative and right wing for me. It's just kind of hard for
me to understand how people could be so fired up a few months ago and so
"business as usual" now.

And they said the same thing about 2004 back in 2000.

In 1776, conservatives (you) would have voted for the British throne.

In 1776, conservatives, (us), didn't get a vote. That's why we revolted,
remember? If we had been allowed, we would have written a constitution and
bill of rights we could believe in and upon which a country could be founded
and kept free . . . which is exactly what we did.
