Stuff you forget about

Some friends and I were driving back from the lake a week or two ago, when it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't seen any Bush/Cheney (I prefer Chimpy/McCrashcart, but that's just me) bumper stickers.
My companions recognized this as well. So for the remaining mile home we scanned all of the cars we could see and came up with only one. And that was't confirmed. What this means I don't know, but it did put a smile on my face.

2000 was a different story. I live in a University town, so Gore/Leiberman bumper stickers outnumbered Chimpy/McCrashcart ones, but you would still see the latter at least once a block. This post jogged my memory.

On the commute home, I saw a guy come through the station to catch a train, carrying a "John Kerry for President" sign. Maybe there is hope! It's little events like this... This is, in fact, the first time in my life that I've ever seen such a thing, and I've been through a lot of elections. Next thing: "Proud liberal" T-Shirts....

Good signs that people might be a little embarrassed by Chimpy/McCrashcart. While they still may vote for the little bastard they aren't gonna advertise that they are idiots. Not so loud and proud.

Gettysburg Address

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who died here that that nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
