I remember seeing those commercials wherein people were saying, "I'm going to fight terrorism by going to my brother's wedding." "I'm going to fight terrorism by going to college."

I remember seeing those commercials and crying with absolute joy. It meant that we weren't going to just sit there and cry in our soup. Then, suddenly, those commercials disappeared. I thought to myself, WTF? Where did they go? Soon after, Bush's face began taking their place, and I quickly saw the writing on the wall, as it were. I didn't want to acknowledge what I was seeing, because I thought I was over thinking things. I hate the fact that I was right, though. It makes me sick. :-(
