Wow. Never heard this song (Goodnight America) before-- I think someone at http://www.kunc.org is feeling a lot like I am.
It's hard to know how to feel today, because on a local level there were some positive results from the election, but on a national level I feel like I am in mourning. I'm sad that so many of my fellow Americans are so afraid-- of war, of cultural change, of 'the other,' that they willingly close their eyes to the erosion of our liberties, our rights, and our livelihoods. I only hope we can get through the next four years with our country marginally intact.
ETA: I like what Howard Dean has to say over at http://www.democracyforamerica.com/
