I realize this disclosure may only invigorate the Republicans and evoke derision from my fellow free thinkers out there, but seriously, if they win I will be crushed. I've been married 8 years, and we're finally in a position to buy a home and start a family. However, I just don't know if I can create another human being that will have to live in a country that is so damn stupid. I would like to believe that the '04 election was stolen, but too many people I respect voted for Bush (again). If '08 is lost we're not a "nation of whiners", we're a nation of idiots.
More happy thoughts below the fold...
First off, I understand DKos is a place to find great political information, so I apologize for the lack of any of this in my diary...this is totally introspective and I am using this forum only to vent. Please do not rec this as I do not want to take up room on the top of the site.
Everyone who knows my wife or me would say we should have kids. She's beautiful, sweet, and smart, just got her PhD in chemistry. I'm a nice guy (love kids, animals, etc.) bit of an underachiever but have had decent jobs in hi-tech companies...so I guess we're elitist, whatever that means. I would like to think we'd be great parents (that's what everyone tells me) but you never know...I see all those psycho killers' moms and dads on TV, "they were such good kids, I don't know what happened, must be the devil." But back to the point: do I really want to make more people that will have to live through this crap? You know the list of messed up things is long, so I will not bore you with what I think.
So what would you say if you knew a couple like us?
Thanks for reading...
