Hate.

It's a powerful motivator. Hate informs much of human interaction - too much. Us versus them. Me versus you. It is so easy to hate. It is so primal, so visceral. It is much harder to understand or to listen.

Ya wanna see some hate? Here's The Obama File. It's not mere demagoguery - it's hate. This is just the beginning, of course. By November, the hate machine will be running on all cylinders, cranking out ugly crap at an alarming rate. The hate machine will align itself with powerful interests, and money will pour into its coffers, and hate will become a full-fledged industry, not just the cottage variety of the Obama File.

Very soon, we're going to find out what America is really made of. We'll soon see if the people of this country still deserve the Republic that our ancestors created or whether we have devolved to such a degree as to be only worthy of the country that BushCo. have left us with.

I remain skeptical. People in this country voted for George W. Bush not once, but twice. A people that stupid, that suicidal do not engender faith in their decision making capabilities. I hope my skepticism will be proved wrong...
