Isn't it interesting how words change? The Latin for "to be ignorant" has (according to Wheelock's) been brought through the ages in the form of the word "nice".
In earlier times, when a certain Daniel Defoe was still around scribbling, the word "miserable" was not only used in the passive sense. It had more of the "wretched" idea to it. If someone was miserable, there was at least some possibility that he was also wretched. This, of course, is natural. Everyone is sinful.
Today, the American people can be deceived by the simple idea of change. I think it's reasonable to conclude that they decide so because of President Bush. People want change from what they call "the failed policies of the last eight years". I think this is mainly because they've swallowed, hook, line, and sinker, the media's image of the Bush America as worse than almost ever before. They see Obama as the light at the end of an eight-year tunnel of torture which they've created, with their own imaginations, to blind themselves from the truth of the Bush Administration.
Throughout the eight last years, Bush has been ridiculed and slandered by the media and the left as if they cared for nothing else. Has Bush even made fleeting, degrading comments about the dinosaur media? No. He has done his job. He has protected at least some of the ideals Christians hold most dearly. Imagine where we would be with Kerry or even Gore.
...no. Don't bother. It's unimaginable.
*EDIT* I just noticed how crazily I tangented there. Sorry.
