I am sad, and almost embarrassed to say, but I honestly don't care. I feel like Ms. Miers and Mr. Roberts (is that his name I already forgot) are about the best someone like me is going to get. At least since I don't know they're going to set out to take away my individual liberties I have some hope.

I know I should care, but I feel as if there is no place in America for people like me anyway. Maybe one day there will be, but right now there is not. In some people's minds I don't even exist: a Black woman from an upper middle class home who earned scholarships to both law and engineering school- yeah right- all they see is statistic. I don't expect Roberts or Miers to better that- so really its almost nonimportant to me because Bush is giving what I'd expect him to give (maybe even a bit better) and what those who gave him the presidency want him to give (or maybe a little less).

Its why I cried after the 2004 election, but I'm all cried out and honestly am over it now.

I just get to work and wait for day I count which isn't really a problem for me because I come from a line of entreprenuers, am a capitalist at heart and know I'll be rich enough some day to buy myself some importance.
