Election or Erectile-dysfunction?

Election is over. Americans have made the final decision that surprised me. I respect their decision but I was scratching my head wonder why they made such a judgment call. During lunch time, one of my colleagues brought up the fact that Kerry won most of the votes from urbanized states and pointed out most of the educated American voted for Kerry. Another colleague of mine immediately replied “Oh, since you are highly educated why are you still voted for Bush.” Obviously, this raised a question what was the intention when Americans vote for Bush regardless his poor performance. Share prices of defense-related companies and oil companies are soaring today. Big corporate are happy because Bush will keep spending money on defense regardless the country’s deficit (probaly is good for me too) and will allow oil company to dig out Alaska wilderness. People are happy because they can get back a few hundreds bucks from tax cut and care less about the social security and education quality. People who believes in “Carpe Diem” are celebrating. Environmentalist, economist, and people who truly love the country and concerns about the future of their children are crying, however. It is rather a sad day for Americans. What would happened four years later? Let me predict: America’s deficit stacked up to zillion, damaging environment triggered sequential disasters, and since Americans living in perpetual fear of terrorist attack, most of the men in the America have erectile dysfunction (of course, except me).

What I have learned from this election? No traffic jams on the Election Day (instead of 30 min, it took me less than 20 min commute to work) and bad traffic the day after the Election Day (1 hour of commute!!!).
