"The world is growing more tolerant. One day you will be ashamed of your treatment of me." --Oscar Wilde, ca. 1895

Don't move to Canada. Don't give up. Don't spend the next four years whining about the election. It happened, it sucks, and we've all had a good long cry (which is perfectly fine). Now it's time to regroup and keep fighting. For gay rights. For all civil rights. For not overturning Roe v. Wade, for stem cell research, for not having our privacy invaded by the government, for the environment, for affordable health care, for getting the hell out of Iraq, for reestablishing foreign alliances, for earning back the rest of the world's respect, for everything and anything you hold dear and believe this administration might destroy. We've had our day of mourning. We've bitched and moaned and commisserated, and it didn't solve anything but damn it felt good. And now it's time to take a deep collective breath and plunge back into the fray.

It's not the end of the world. A huge setback, but one we're strong enough to overcome. I want to be proud to be an American again. Don't give up the fight.
