Subject: Getting Even: I, and probably many others, have had since the beginning of the Bush administration a horrible feeling of America being betrayed. The bombardment of so many wrongs against our liberties, science, the environment, world opinion and our prisoners from a war that can never end, coupled with such blatantly illegal acts as the outing of a CIA agent and wiretapping without court orders, have had a shock-and-awe effect that still leaves me wondering how it is possible that these things could have ever happened in our country. When the Republicans were knocked from their perch in the 2006 elections, I had hopes that we were fighting to take our country back; however, I have yet to see any progress on bringing justice to these evildoers. Clearly, I have reached the depression phase. I am not so sure I am ready to move on to acceptance, as I will retaliate in the voting booth against the next crop of elected officials if they do not take steps to right the wrongs of the last seven years of Republican misrule. I need to be proud of my country again. Bill G
