What's really sad is that I just heard maybe a few hours ago from my 
mother who told me that a young man (25 years) killed himself today 
because Bush was reelected. Now, I may not like our country's choice 
for president, but chreeist, people need to lighten up. (I'm not able 
to dig up a citation just yet, but IIRC, she heard it on a California 
radio station). To leave just because of an election is a bit much, 
although it could be the straw-that-broke-the-camels back sort of 
phenomena.
