michael moore is insane




i've heard, seen and read some pretty upsetting stuff the past week. i understand that a lot of people were extremely emotionally invested in the election, and that's fine. there's nothing wrong with being passionate.

however, a lot of the passion has morphed into a disturbing level of irrationality. if you've been crying yourself to sleep every night because bush is our president, then you really need to wake up. that or grow up. sometimes things do go our way in this world. it's a lesson we should have all learned back in kindergarten. in case you need a refresher, when you lose you do not just pack up your stuff, refuse to play the game and call the other side stupid. yes, there are dumb people who supported both of the candidates this election. but it doesn't mean either side is entirely misguided.

also, stuff can change in 4 years. that's the beauty of our system. besides that, how many presidents have actually irreversibly screwed up our country? apparently none, since we're still here. i'm not saying you have to love, or even like the guy. but you do have to live with him unless.....

you're talking about moving to america junior or some other foreign country, and then please go ahead. cause i know i don't want to hear you bitch about how terrible this country is in comparison to everyone else anymore.

but for the love of all that is holy, do not do something horribly tragic like kill yourself.

oh, and don't rely on michael moore for your news. (balance your sources of information to make sure you get the whole picture.) he's a charlatan and does this entire country a great disservice by running his mouth off. to borrow from jon stewart, he's hurting america.
