I'm scared

I'm scared of some of the people in this country. I was listening to this fascinating NPR story where York (PA) Voters Untangle Rhetoric On Race, but the most chilling thing was a preview of the ATC program tonight talking about fear, and this woman says "I fear if we put Obama in the White House, there will be chaos." What!? A black man in the White House will cause society to collapse!?! Colin Powell was in charge of our military, and Secretary of State and the social order didn't break down. Geez.

And then there was a story from Missouri where some guy said he was voting for McCain because he was antiabortion and against gay marriage, two 'moral' issues which have absolutely no direct bearing on this man's life. WTF!?! He said that because of that, god would be on our side, and that's all that mattered, How ignorant and intolerant can you be. Obviously he is clinging to his guns and religion.
