Since I’m in the mood to just quote other people, I bring you the words of Emily J (I’m not sure she wants her full name showing up in google), a woman I have a deep respect for.

I’m thinking about becoming a repulbican. . . .

Think how easy it would be. I would always be able to vote for winners. I could just care about myself. I wouldn’t have to care that in a few years, two men who love each other will be prohibited from marrying each other. I wouldn’t have to listen to rational discussion, I could just keep saying, “They hate us because of our freedom.” I wouldn’t have to think that maybe we did something awful and suppressed them and terorrism is their only way of fighting back.

Think about it. I could marry rich, have 2.5 children, live in the suburbs, and live a totally sheltered life. I could believe that America is good and Muslims are bad and everything in between is just immoral.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

Four more years!
