Heard a story today about Kerry supporters who are having trouble accepting his loss. Statements such as, "this is the end of America" or "America will never be the same" are their mantra of despair.

The Boca News reports this phenomena among shocked south Floridians is called “post-election selection trauma” or PEST and the American Health Foundation is capitalizing on it. The are setting us group therapy sessions to assist these people. An AHA psychotherapist said he thought it was temporary and would fade as they adjust to reality.

OK. I would have to question whether the people in question ever did have a grasp on reality. One thing for sure, these members of the senior set apparently bought into Kerry's scare ads. Maybe they should send him the bill for their sessions.

Better yet, maybe they should secure a good tort lawyer and go after the Kerry/Edwards campaign for pain and suffering compensation for all the fear they foisted on these unsuspecting folk.

All I can say is, don't worry folks, this election may be a bump in the road, but many scientists, theologists, and sociologists believe that the universe and society is on a steady course from order to chaos. A clear headed look around the world will confirm this theory through simple observation.

While the election of George Bush may temporarily slow this process, it won't stop it and sooner or later you will get someone with your belief system in the office of the President and the race to chaos will continue headlong. And you will find that, yes, America will not ever be the same, chaos results in destruction, that is what you are longing for.

We can only pray that we arrive at that point later than sooner.
