I feel like I'm surrounded by a sea of morons here in Ohio. I ask my coworkers what they think about "it" and they could care less. They know the ERA's of most of the pitchers in the Major League Baseball, but they don't give a damn about what Ken Blackwell is trying to do to our state. I asked my wife to read your post but she saw how long it was and said "I'm not reading all that!" She doesn't go with me to DFA meetings, but lets me go because she thinks it'll keep me happy. I put more and more obnoxious anti-Bush bumper stickers on my car and no one seems to notice, and I'm trying to piss people off.

Until people can be torn away from sports and American Idol and whatever other drivel is on TV and be made to realize the importance of what they are allowing politicians to do to our society through their apathy and complacence nothing will change.

I take heart from your post. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who wants to rip my hair out by the roots (what's left of it) and scream till I'm blue in the face. Please keep it up and I'll keep it up and we can all give each other courage and strength.
