To quote
twoflower, out of the last chapter of Unreal Estate:
"Really?" she said, glancing around the room. "For a dead company, we seem to be quite alive. My trash basket was emptied this morning. The cafeteria still had those wonderful fudge brownies I enjoy. And all of you are still slated to receive your overjustified salaries in direct deposit on pay day next Wednesday. So, tell me -- how exactly are we dead when the patient still breathes?"
The point is, for all the doom and gloom there is in the States and amongst those Americans who voted against Bush right now (not to be confused with those who voted for Kerry), it isn't the end of the world. We still live and breathe, and life for the time being will go on.
In other words, if we don't like the status quo, we still have the ability to change it.
