This is a long rant that does absolutely nothing productive. :o If you don't want to read it all, there's a left-pointing arrow on your browser that will take you back to the last page you were viewing. Forgive me, but I have to 'vent.'

Anyone else feeling so frustrated right now, they don't know what to do? I mean, has the frustration really seeped in yet?
We have to wait four more damned years for this healthcare bill to come down hard on the people so that we can file lawsuits (as individual citizens, and have 'standing' or whatever). November isn't much less of an eternity away. I keep checking every source of news I can find, but things feel unreasonably DEAD right now (considering that people should be out in the streets over this—oh wait, they're bought and paid for with government hand-outs). The stock market isn't going DOWN, it's going UP (I mean, come on, they aren't all health-industry stocks!!! :confused:). Aside from a few bricks in windows and some paperwork dropped off by attorneys general in a handful of states, is this it?
To top it all off, I wrote a letter to my state rep. today to urge support for Georgia's opt-out legislation, only to find out this afternoon that my idiotic state legislature shot the measure down already. Now residents of this state will miss out on an opportunity to amend our state constitution to pre-empt this crappy healthcare law.
My state's attorney general is a black (relax, I'm voting for John Monds, so I'm not a racist, just stating the obvious) democrat whose primary support and voting base is a bunch of liberals in the liberal-dominated city of Atlanta, or the welfare-bought southwest portion of the state, Albany, including some of the poorest counties in the state that haven't realized their lack of wealth is due to too much government. I have the misfortune of being, literally, on the very edge of this district, and Sandford Bishop is king here. From my house, I could throw a stone to a district in which a blue dog democrat, Jim Marshall, at least voted against the bill.
The liberals are rubbing America's face in it, thinking that they've solidified their chances to remain a majority after the next elections. The republicans are chomping at the bit to return to the majority, and think they're qualified to lead the country again simply because they aren't democrats.
I. Am. Frustrated.

But I'm more frustrated than that.
