Yes and no. In this election, I honestly don’t see any justification for voting for George Bush this time around, given his current track record on tax breaks for the rich, lying to and deceiving America about the war, and the environment. In other elections, I’ve found it much harder.
A question for the history majors out there: I feel more frightened about his election than about any other before. My inclination is that if GWB is re-elected, we could be entering into the most potentially dangerous era—as far as American policy and how that relates to the environment and the world scene are concerned—of our lifetimes. Are these simply just the alarmist heebie jeebies of a post-adolescent who’s finally started to see how messed up our world is? Am I overreacting because I haven’t lived through Vietnam or WWII? Or, in the opinion of fellow current administration dissenters, am I justified in my anxiousness?
