So, how was everyone's Amature Night? Most of the true drinkers I know will tell you to stay home on St. Pat's Day so as to not get caught up in all the foolishness that rookies bring to the table. Same goes for Cinco de Mayo. Besides why do people in America celebrate a Mexican holiday? Do you think there are lots of Mexicans down there celebrating our Fourth of July?
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.
