Ooh, ooh, the damage done
I apologize for sitting out this election season. Unfortunately I just couldn't bring myself to write about it. The entire thing can be summed up as the two major parties pointing fingers at each other and screaming "Fag!" I don't know about you, but I couldn't work with that.
But now all the chips have fallen. The Democratic Party has gained enough seats to take over both houses of Congress. Although all of the attention right now is currently being paid to the fact that the Democrats have bested the Republicans, soon everyone is going to notice that the Democrats' margin is even smaller than the Republicans' was, and recognize that regardless of the dynamics of the various races in which everyone has been so caught up, at the end of the day we're left with an even more narrowly divided Congress. That's right folks, we're as evenly split as we ever were. We still have no general political consensus, and thus as a nation we are prevented from making any progress. And that's the part that I found so hard to watch and write about. We are still represented by two parties which a majority of Americans can only reluctantly support.

The road to wisdom? Well it's plain
and simple to express:
Err, and err,
and err again,
but less, and less, and less.

It is about time you left something here. I was beginning to think you were pretty much incommunicado. No e-mails, phone calls, posts, love poems, dainty chocolates for me to sample as I think about you, nothing. My longing is now temporarily sated.
Love, Lance
