I am so tense, I feel it affecting me not only psychologically, but
perhaps even physically.

If I were a praying person, I would pray that my beloved country

I have found reading newsgroups less frequently. There are few posts,
don't have binary groups, spam, criticism, and election threads are a
few reasons. I have increased reading of specific-interest blogs,
something that I thought I would never get involved.
