Oh god, another political post ...

SorryEverybody.com: The blue half of America apologises to the rest of the world.

ApologiesAccepted.com: The world responds. Check out the ten most recent pictures, they even have a member of the Dutch parliament on there.

Also, ThisIsNotOver.com: information and pointers on how and why to keep fighting.

Dammit! I keep forgetting to upload my picture to sorryeverybody.com. I had one originally, but then I had the idea for the other one, so I haven't uploaded it yet.

It's of my friend Chris and I crowded together into a very tiny closet with a sign that reads "World, We're incredibly sorry. -Gay America (who tried hard while being shoved back in the closet" and our free hands holding up the ASL for "sorry" and the international sign for peace.

The site makes me choke back sobs. Of frustration. And anger. I love that there's now apologiesaccepted.com. It's nice to see the response.

There's this one picture on apologiesaccepted.com of a Chinese girl that says 'Red China love Blue America'. That made me cry damnit!

The problem is, though, that it's 51% of the 60% of the eligible population that voted. Thus, really, only about 30% of the country voted for Bush. More people abstained from voting than voted for either Kerry or Bush.

I want to make a picture that says "I did my part, I voted, but I want an apology from the 40% who did nothing."
