Time to step away and allow for a wider perspective. I see current events in that way as well. The negative sentiment against each candidate, coming from opposition, seems to be of a much greater intensity than the positive support issuing from that candidate's supporters. So that if Bush gets in, it may well lead to a strengthening of the left, out of anger. And if Gore gets in, it may well lead to a strengthening of the right, out of anger.
Anger can be a very strong and energizing force.
So each side contains the seed of its opposite, and the seed is poised to grow strong and fast. I think a Bush presidency might generate a new wave of progressive activism. He might influence America in ways he does not quite intend. I think when you love someone you see the infinite in them. You support them in allowing them to be all that they can be.
