Evidence of a Tipping Point?
I don't know exactly why -- what the correlation is, or why I'm posting this graph. The trends struck me as significant for some reason that I can put into words. It feels like -- maybe -- perhaps I shouldn't even jinx it -- this is some sort of tipping point that will carry over to the 2006 elections.
Now, if only the democratic party would stop nominating the usual parade of cursty gubers.
Not to mention, I may at this point have entirely lost my faith in the wisdom of the American electorate. I still can't believe G.W. Bush was re-elected. Its as though our entire country has just snapped. I fear that in 2006 they will again take the GOP's bait and start jabbering and voting on the basis of gay marriage. Delay will be re-elected, the house and senate will continue to be dominated by Republicans. Its as though the electorate doesn't care that our politicians are selling each and everyone of us out to corporate interest -- so long as there is some "show trial" involving child molestation on TV... God I'm depressed.
