Sometimes you hope for things really hard. Like when I was rolling around in the ditch in the middle of a car wreck on Dec. 8, 1978. Like when vjsmom was in surgery for 11 hours and then in a coma. Even a little like when I was wishing on that piece of pie in the City Café---but that one wasn't desparate and based on fear; that was a wish for a positive opportunity.

Anyway, each of those times I got what I'd appealed to the Fates for. Today I don't feel quite that most intense/raw/unguarded/exposed & powerless pleading---but it's close.

It's not that I think things will be so great if Kerry is elected. It's just that I'm certain it will be a terrifying, threatening time for what is good about this country if he is not.

hmmmm. I'm more excited about kerry than i was about clinton though. actually i wasn't really excited about clinton (didn't pay as much attention back then, anyway). i may not agree with kerry on everything. and i think it's interesting how everyone feels they can go and tell kerry how to run his campaign and how to present himself, etc. it's like we think of kerry as this brainy, geeky, bureaucrat type who needs our help to be slick. but somehow he's managed to get in and stay in the senate this long. and get onto the foreign relations committee, and get into a position of power there. i know little about kerry. but i think he respects the laws of our country, he respects the notion that there is international law, he respects that women have the right to control their own bodies, and he is not the type to rush to war or to rush to amend the constitution or to pander to religious conservatives. we need him driving our bus for sure.
