it seems in some of our lives, we are presented with a challenge that defines us. until that moment, we seem to flounder aimlessly. until the tragic events of last week, i really had no idea what president bush was all about. i had been a ralph nader supporter yet, i voted for al gore (the implication is obvious).
tonight, during his speech, i believed everything president bush said. more importantly, i believed in everything he said. there is much to be said for straight and to the point. i think it beats eloquent any time especially, if my life depends on it. maybe i'll ultimately be disappointed but, i'd be 100% surprised if i were. a few months ago, we were discussing that famous quote from goethe about the nature of commitment. for those of you who are unfamiliar with that quote, it says that when you make a commitment, it seems as if the forces of the universe come to the aid of your cause. aid comes unexpected and in the most peculiar forms.
as the subject heading suggests, 'george w.' has become president bush. he has my support, 100%. i don't expect him to be perfect, i just know whatever he does is far better than anything i could ever think of.
