Kodi, you brought up something that I think has been a bigger factor in this election than many previous ones. The Republican Party (to which I am registered) has not been running an honest election, and the Democrats (so far that I can tell) have. Specific? Not especially, but honest, and informed, and charismatic.
I had a big long post written up about economics, and cold hard facts, and the reasoning behind why our country has been moving towards equality over freedom, but I gave up. The argument just isn't worth making anymore. I know that there will always be a place for the elite to move, and there will always be a way to get to that place for those with the raw ability. In a time when we emphasize the lessening of educational standards and place an emphasis on merely pushing people through the system to a diploma or degree, America is becoming sloppy due to the fact that many of the people that receive degrees aren't qualified to do anything but maintain their fields. Instead of encouraging innovators, we have become a country of people dedicated to a sort of masturbatory experience in schools based around a static system that does nothing to truly challenge and shape the gifted or weed out the unfit. The reason that our elite is so far above the non-elite is because the difference between the people that merely finish the system as opposed to the people who are actually able is growing so rapidly that the result cannot help but be anything else.
To make a comparison to an example that everyone can relate to, as raid-level gear becomes better and better, the people running the game are forced to make the raiders work much harder to succeed in order to ensure that they truly deserve their rewards. Those running the system must also make sure to give better and better handouts to those who are unable or unwilling to actually work for the best rewards. What is the balance? Should casual or less skilled gamers gain more rewards for their same mediocre effort? Why should the highly skilled raiders who have made the rewards their sole purpose, and shown that they have the ability to earn them in competitive environments, be punished for the failures of casual gamers?
But all of this is, in the end, merely a matter of opinion. You want to know where I think that this country is going? Read this book by Orson Scott Card:

I wonder how many riots will happen from stupid people. It wasnt even a race 338 to 155 WTF!
lol i celebrated in my own special way: First, i went off to popeyes with a few of my friends, ordered 2 spicy breasts, cajun rice and cajun mashed potatoes. next, i went home, had a breast, watched him win,smoke a bowl, drink a colt 45 and then have the other breast lol.

Now would be a really good time to go get any firearms and ammunition you may have been intending to buy. With the democrats in control of 2/3rds of the gov't I would expect to see some sort of anti-gun legislation in the first 100 days of the Obama presidency.
http://www.gunbroker.com has some good buys.

Can you call it a riot when people are celebrating?
Because there's a riot going on in downtown Santa Cruz right now. I can hear people screaming from a mile and a half away.
