Rainy Day.
Don't Quit -- by Jill Wolf
Don't quit when the tide is the lowest
For it's just about to turn;
Don't quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.
Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.
I was going through something rough recently and a friend of mine sent me this poem. For me, this meant a lot, in fact this moved me to tears. And the thought always does count. I am glad I had a chance to understand my friends a lot more the last few days than I did the last few years.
All it took was for me to talk. To be the one to reach out and just talk, it puts a lot of doubt to rest.
What did anyone think of President Bush winning the election? Not that Kerry would be any better (I am actually scared of them both) The world is now (At least the way I feel) more dangerous than ever because we saw what 4 years of Bush would do to the world.
When Bush first took office I felt as if though the Americans were cheated. That there was that recount thing from Florida in 2000. I never felt he was a President, because it felt like he was somehow handed the spot... that he didn't earn it.
While the attention to the War on Terror was commendable, I felt worse when he shifted his focus away from Osama Bin Garbage. I mean Bush has struck me as dumb during this year's debate and even prior to it his attempt to explain "Sovereignty" sent chills down my spine...His isolation of the United Nations and his declaration that the U.N. was nothing more than a failed "League of Nations" was terrible.
I am not surprised at all that the U.S. felt that they needed to attack Iraq...in fact, Former President Bill Clinton came close a few years ago. Is America a great nation? by all definitions, I would say yes. But their nationalistic and egocentric attitude made me scared of what they could do to the world.... this Presidential election came so close, yet so far...it was sad to see that after the few months in 2000 when Al Gore lost...people at the time had said "Gore in 4" in support of the man...only to see him reduced to a footnote in history.
Sentator John Kerry and John Edwards represented a hope for change...and this was great, because America didn't need to lose their allies...and they did no thanks to President Bush. I am a person who calls Canada home...and for me knowing that our neighbours to the south actually elected Mr. President Bush...I can only hope that President Bush delivers and sees that he has one more chance to reach out to the international community and the world at large.
That's all I can say now....

Hey man! I saw the definition of Sovereignty. That was appalling that a united states president didn't know the meaning.
The united nations was established just to prevent world war. By bypassing the united nations, he just said, screw you, I will attack who I like and I don't care what anyone says (as is obvious) and so there is nothing that'll stop WWIII.

I'll admit I'm not too impressed with Bush getting re-elected. A friend of mine did say that Ohio state would be the deciding factor.
I've also noticed that I'm not the only one in this world not happy about his re-election, but people are saying that it's time for a change. Maybe this time Bush will listen and make a change. Some of his more recent speeches have been a bit better, though I still think he needs new speech writers. If not, he pays them too little for what they write for him.
Anyway, let me just get to my point. With the re-election of Bush and China as a rising power, the next year or so should be quite interesting. Times really are changing. Let's see if history will repeat itself.
