Kerry supporters seek therapy ... "

More than a dozen traumatized John Kerry supporters have sought and received therapy from a licensed Florida psychologist since their candidate lost to President Bush, the Boca Raton News learned Monday. Boca Raton trauma specialist Douglas Schooler said he has treated 15 clients and friends with intense hypnotherapy since the Democratic nominee conceded last Wednesday ...

... Schooler's disclosure comes after the weekend discovery of a Kerry volunteer's corpse at Ground Zero in New York City. Georgia resident Andrew Veal, 25, reportedly killed himself with a shotgun blast to the head due to Kerry's loss and a girlfriend problem ...

... Asked to describe symptoms of the post-election trauma, Schooler said, They include feelings of extreme anger, despair, hopelessness, powerlessness, a failure to function behaviorally, a sense of disillusionment, of not wanting to vote anymore, that sort of thing. We're talking about a deep, unhealthy personal suffering that can best be remedied by intensive short-term therapy."

Perhaps you might actually come out and say what effect you wish to produce with that quote that you seem so very fond of, Timber?

Yes - but by repeatedly posting it you wish to achieve what effect?

I am thinking that absurdity is not present only in one place in relation to your postings.

And I am thinking that what is most absurd, calling only for absurdity in return, is the enmity directed by some of those dismayed by the recent US election toward those who favored the accomplished outcome.

Enmity is a two way street, Timber - which I think you are failing to notice - and I am not sure that usually more mofderate people like you multiply posting with such blatant contempt and intent to be offensive is helping any - but, I am so sick of the mutual enmity that I am taking a holiday from politics.

The crap is literally making me ill.

I, of course, notice the stuff from your side more - but I do not fail to acknowledge the other.

Bush Nominates His Top Counsel for Justice Post
By DAVID E. SANGER and ERIC LICHTBLAU
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 - President Bush on Wednesday nominated Alberto R. Gonzales, the White House counsel and a longtime political loyalist, to be his next attorney general

November 11, 2004
Excerpts From Gonzales's Legal Writings

s a justice on the Texas Supreme Court, Alberto R. Gonzales wrote a majority opinion issued on June 22, 2000, in a case in which a minor was seeking to have an abortion without notifying her parents, as state law required. Then as counselor to the president, Mr. Gonzales drafted a memorandum dated Jan. 25, 2002, about the application of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War (G.P.W.) to the conflict with Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Following are excerpts from those writings:

An Abortion Ruling

Our role as judges requires that we put aside our own personal views of what we might like to see enacted, and instead do our best to discern what the Legislature actually intended. ... Once we discern the Legislature's intent we must put it into effect, even if we ourselves might have made different policy decisions. ...

The dissenting opinions suggest that the exceptions to the general rule of notification should be very rare and require a high standard of proof. I respectfully submit that these are policy decisions for the Legislature. And I find nothing in this statute to directly show that the Legislature intended such a narrow construction. As the court demonstrates, the Legislature certainly could have written section 33.033(i) to make it harder to bypass a parent's right to be involved in decisions affecting their daughters. ... But it did not. Likewise, parts of the statute's legislative history directly contradict the suggestion that the Legislature intended bypasses to be very rare. ... Thus, to construe the Parental Notification Act so narrowly as to eliminate bypasses, or to create hurdles that simply are not to be found in the words of the statute, would be an unconscionable act of judicial activism. As a judge, I hold the right of parents to protect and guide the education, safety, health and development of their children as one of the most important rights in our society. But I cannot rewrite the statute to make parental rights absolute, or virtually absolute, particularly when, as here, the Legislature has elected not to do so.

Prisoner of War Status

As you have said, the war against terrorism is a new kind of war. It is not the traditional clash between nations adhering to the laws of war that formed the backdrop for G.P.W. The nature of the new war places a high premium on other factors, such as the ability to quickly obtain information from captured terrorists and their sponsors in order to avoid further atrocities or war crimes, such as wantonly killing civilians. In my judgment, this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions requiring that captured enemy be afforded such things as commissary privileges, scrip (i.e., advances of monthly pay), athletic uniforms and scientific instruments.

I propose that the bald eagle and the bunny hire a psychic to channel the spirit of Lewis Carrol to solve this ridiculous conundrum of absurdity and nonsense.

But what have you been getting at? That it's absurd for Kerry supporters to be upset?

Keep in mind that many of us were not just hoping for a Kerry win in a vague way but working very hard to try to make it happen. I'm not seeking therapy but I truly understand how it is possible, and don't find it absurd.

I don't see what is accomplished by calling those who are upset absurd.
