When I moved to the south people in Michigan asked me if I was bothered by some of the open racism down here. My response is that I would prefer someone to wear such a thing on their sleeve rather than to hide it. I sort of feel this way about the choice we have now. I'd rather have a person that I expect to be non-transparent, prone to war, and beholden to special interests than someone that claims to be the antithesis of these things but then never acts accordingly. I really don't like my options right now.
