I'm very happy that the temperature has come down a bit today. I haven't blogged since Wednesday because my main computer is upstairs and its just been too freaking hot to sit up there and write. It doesn't help that the den is on the western side of the house and we get all the afternoon sun, so its hot, hot, hot! But things are better now and I'm back to spilling my guts for all to read.
I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him.
Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.
