I'm glad you pointed out that world peace is not going to be achieved by a Kerry victory and the entire world scenario is not going to be re-aligned. Nor are we going to mak a breakthrough on November 3, wherein everyone who is paralyzed can get up out of his wheelchair.
As to the LJ thing, I think people are making too much of it. I didn't see the original post, but my guess is that the Secret Service wasn't monitoring LJ, but was instead informed by someone who happened to be on that journal. If there was something that could be construed as a threat, it's the Service's job to check it out, and that will be as true for Kerry and was as true for Clinton as it is for Bush. Given the sheer number of vicious anti-Bush posts I see every day on LJ, the fact that there's only been one such visit reported is actually what surprises me, though certainly proves that they aren't out there randomly monitoring. But that's a post for my own journal.
