Still, the reaction of the crowds at recent rallies were unbearable and despite today's small attempt to slow it's pace, I fear the ultimate outcome of this wave of uncertainty and anger can only lead to something bad. .....and it wouldn't hurt if Bush stepped up and reminded everyone how we are suppose to act as human beings.
