November is coming, someone will be elected President and Congress will have elections. No matter who is elected there will be no wanton bombing of Iran nor will Lenin be found on Pennsylvania Ave. Someone will set out an agenda and no soup lines will form. Extremists will always be loud and danger will always be present, but the good ones, the 97% or so of us who like to check our email and have a drink now and then like good Americans (and you foreigners too) will go on living in a capacity that is nearly identical to the one we have this moment.
The end is not 'nigh, the center can hold, there are no huns at the gate.
Am I right?
I agree.
Except, I said the same thing in 2000 when my candidate lost. And then we were attacked. I'm not saying it was Bush's fault -- not at all! Just that things happen to alter our way of life. I sure hope you're right.
And if your larger point is that neither McCain nor Obama is a monster, I couldn't agree more. I think they are both very good, capable and decent men.
