I have said for a long time, as have others, that the Bush Administration is like an abusive husband. They use fear, threats, etc., to keep us in "our place" (well some of us, anyway. Not me.) And thank God, people ARE waking up, finally. Finding the strength they need to leave this abusive relationship (and they took a big step on November 7th).
