The sad thing, protesting didn't help, either. Alas. We are stuck with an idiot in the White House for a while longer. In any case, you are certainly not evil ;)

"Like me, you could...be unfortunate enough to stumble upon a silent war. The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. Either way, you're accountable." - Arundhati Roy
Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino al andar. - Antonio Machado "
