I can speak only for myself, but the reason *I* am so worked up about the election results is because now there will be little to stop the kings-to-be from starting the REAL "mother of all battles," the one that could truly be the beginning of the end. I don't like sounding so fatalistic, but I've believed since childhood that I would be alive to see The End, and now it feels very close indeed. Secondly, as has already been pointed out, the Administration can now pack the U.S. Supreme Court with conservatives to its heartless content. So even if we don't blow ourselves up, what frightening changes lie ahead? For me, it's not about the economy (which has always bounced back eventually), and -- foolishly or not -- I've never been too afraid of terrorists, other than the ones that have been recently voted into office. However, THEY scare the hell out of me. Lori ~
