It seems Laini is verbalizing for me so much of what is churned up with this election and I am linking to her again here.

She posted this youtube video at her site today and it is genuinely shocking.

Naturally, people have different responses to it, but I was most gratified by what I read in the comments section of Laini's post. Specifically, what Alex wrote:

I don't understand being nonpartisan in these times, with so much at stake. I really don't. Its like Switzerland in WWII being "neutral" while all around so many people were suffering, being murdered, etc. We have a Republican administration which falsely led us into a war which has resulted in the murders of over 100,000 innocent Iraqis, more than 4,000 American soldiers, and so very many, many more who have not died but lost limbs, have severe PTSD, burns, etc, We have a vice-president nominee who would force you, our mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends to have a baby against our wills even if the person you loved was a victim of rape or incest. There are times in life where to not take a side makes you an accomplice of evil and I really think this is one of those times where that much is at stake. We have a war-mongering presidential nominee who doesn't believe that every child, man, and woman has a right to adequate healthcare. For the past three and a half years, I have seen the direct results of severe cuts in mental health services to the poor, mental health programs entirely cut out of our public schools for students and their families (including children who have serious suicidal depression with no programs to take their place)- and McCain wants to give more tax cuts to the rich when they haven't worked for the last eight years. I think being nonpartisan is as bad as being indifferent and like Elie Wiesel said, "the opposite of love isn't hate. Its indifference."

got 2 cents?
