Countdown to the U.S.S.R.

Normally I don't blog on politics. I think they tend to draw away from technical content. But it's the day after the election, so I can't help myself. The countdown to the birth of the U.S.S.R. has begun. That's the United States Socialist Republic. For years now Bush has eroded our personal freedoms in the name of physical safety from terrorists. Now Obama will launch down the same path in pursuit of economic safety. In the end, America stands to lose all that has made it great, not from powers from without, but wasted away due to fears from within. Of course it's not too late. We stand to lose our greatest strengths, but they are not lost yet, and what is lost can be regained. We are still a democracy, by and large we are still free, and the voice of liberty will still be heard if we have the courage to raise it.
