Joan Ryan wrote a great column in this morning's SF Chronicle about the election results. Apparently voters felt Bush was more moral than Kerry. She asks, " Is it moral to wage war on a country that did not attack us, and to wage it on false pretenses? Is it moral to stuff more money into the pockets of the wealthy while teachers buy their own crayons and patch their own classroom walls, and while people with mental illness live on the streets and in prison cells for lack of services?"Even more to the point, she states, "Our country has always included a mix of religious and political beliefs. But we shared a foundation of certain "truths to be self-evident'' that allowed us to meet on common ground. Today, I don't know. "
The column is worth reading.
