a fork in the road

The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.	20

why are the lower and middle classes supporting McCain? part of it is that they are hearing a lot of media messages (Hannity, et al, as well as the intentional innuendos of the McCain campaign regarding Bill Ayers) that are pure lies. That Barack is Arab, and a Muslim, for instance. Many lies along these lines. And our great Red middle States of America, they are believing what is being offered them. The South that denounced their Democratic bona fides during the Civil Rights movement, true to form, are having difficulty embracing Obama because of his race. Our country is severely divided with both coasts of one opinion, and the south and the middle states of an opposing opinion.
I dont want to ridicule these red state people. People in Kentucky, people in Ohio are severely hurting as a result of this Republican presidency, and they may well vote us into another Republican era with McCain, because they are afraid to vote Democrat.
We are a country of two peoples, two realities, that could not be more divergent.
