I think the past few years + this election have divided the country SO much. For example, I have online friends (Democrats) who are now "mad" at me for living in a "red state," a state that could vote for Bush and ban gay marriage like I have some kind of control over it. They are all going nuts, talking about boycotting "red states," and worse. I think this is only going to progress over the next four years. Maybe I'm a pessimist...but I'll tell you one thing, being a liberal (and proud of it!) there is no way I will "unite" with Bush on anything. He made this speech the other day about how he's going to "reach out" to the people who didn't vote for him, and we should all "unite"....heh. Call me crazy, but I don't think it's going to happen, especially if I have to sacrifice even one position, or give up even one thing I believe in.

Arrogant? Maybe. But that's just me.
