Reply #11: Then you aren't talking about revenge [View All]

Revenge is something done in retaliation, to get back at someone.

I would guess that living your life well after your divorce was done to make your life better, not to piss off your ex. Maybe it did piss off your ex, but that probably wasn't your ultimate motivation. And if it was, then I guess I would have to define 'living well' differently than you.

And with the 'national divorce' (I really like that term, btw!) we aren't going to fix all those things to piss off the RW, we will do it to make the U.S. a better, freer, more Democratic place. Yes, it will piss off the RWers, but that is their problem. We will have succeeded by improving our country.

I would take it so far as to say I hope they aren't pissed off, that they heal as we do and the whole nation can heal. But that is jsut the bleeding heart in me...:shrug:
