Miranda, you're not totally pathetic. Everyone is feeling stressed out in one way or another today. That's why we have a democracy. I voted for Kerry. The people spoke, and the President got a majority of the electoral votes as well as a majority of the popular vote. That's how it's supposed to work. We all just need to be adults now and put the bitterness behind us and try to work together to make America a better place, and to make the world a better place. I'm encouraged by how many people got out and voted - more than since 1968. (I was 4 that year). That's democracy in action. People on both sides of the fence who are stressed or upset or rejoicing are deeply and passionately committed to our country - and that's a good thing. If nobody gave a damn, we'd be in a much sorrier situation.

Don't worry - it'll all be ok.

Peace,
Tina
