So....Obama Wins

So, after a hair raising night, Obama wins another 4 years in office.

Thank fuck for that.

Even though Obama isn't the greatest, the alternative would've been much, much worse.

After all, Romney would've ostracised women who seeked abortions by allowing states to choose their own abortion laws, and cutting funding to Planned Parenthood who help mothers make decisions and give advice and referrals. Then there is his anti-gay marriage stance. And his typical of conservatism attitude towards the poor - thinking they need no help or safety net whilst he helps his rich pals along (a bit like Cameron and the Tories in the UK). He also tied his dogs crate to the top of his car for a 12 hour trip! So he clearly is no friend of animals either.

Basically, unless you were well off and male, you would've gotten kicked in the proverbial nuts by Romney. I'm actually surprised the bigots got out-voted. Every time I see documentaries on the USA, the bigotry, racism, misogyny, speciesism etc is viral.

I also hope Obama does something about this ignorant view that people have a right to use guns on whatever or whomever they choose. I may be a misanthropist, but I think a human should be killed when they DESERVE it. Not for simply trying to break into a property un-armed. Admittedly, most humans deserve it for simply consuming animal products, but that must be the reason for death, not petty stealing. Hell, those crazy ass gun touters even shoot dead people who are just on the grass of their property, it's crazy! The American constitution was written in a by-gone age where weapons were not very powerful and were simply to defend oneself from a corrupt government. Today this is pointless as the government of the USA has WMDS, that will obliterate any resistance from the general public. So the right to bare arms is not a valid excuse for pointing a lethal weapon at an animal or human.

Can't think of any more so rant finished for now.
