I'd like to be as ecstatic; I really would. However, this is
*exactly* how things felt after Bill Clinton won the first time --
exorcising the world from the 12 previous years of Reagan/Bush hell.
We thought all that was put behind us. That it was okay to celebrate
and start to re-build the country again. Then, after his two terms,
where were we? Back into the sh*t all over again.
So today/tonight, celebrate. Eat, drink and be merry. Rejoice in
this victory for the moment. But keep in mind that the same people
who dragged us down for the last 8 years are still out there. And
even now, they're probably already plotting on how they're going to
come back over the next 4 years to take it all back again.
Not trying to be a downer. But let's just say I'm *very cautiously*
optimistic.
