49. TWO THOUGHTS. One, LOL, the 2nd, much more troubling.
Let me start by saying that Sean and Co. deserve all the crap they can get. They certainly earned it.

But, I have seen football (soccer) played in four continents. I have experienced the excitement, the awe, the energy of an entire stadium totally into a game. And I have seen riots and violence that stems from a mere game.

Politics is even more emotionally involving, especially as our rights had faded and our hopes begin to grow with a new era. Obama and Edwards are going to piss some people off. I can easily imagine riots and street fights on political grounds. It happens everywhere in the world, and with all the steam and pressure that has collected, i would hate to see violence break out in the US.
