Even though we've won, have we already lost?

Checking the various new sources to get a feel for current events, I've come away with a weird sense of dread that the victory of 2012 will ultimately mean nothing; not for what was prevented but for what won't be accomplished. Now, I get that if you're a gay couple that's been together for decades, you may disagree(possibly vehemently). Or if you are a woman who was worried about your uterus being under the jurisdiction of Health and Human Services Secretary Rick Santorum, you may no longer feel it necessary to read this diary. Nonetheless, I can't shake the feeling that the cake has already been baked and anything else will be frosting and sprinkles.

Before I get a talking-to by the older Kossacks, I must disclose that I am a young'n. Part of the "Millenial" generation that barely remembers much about politics before the Monica Lewinsky scandal and was still in grade school when those planes took those "amended" routes that September morning. That and the ensuing Bush presidency is how I cut my teeth in this thing we call politics. I write this to acknowledge that while I may have some awareness of my country's political history, I wasn't there. I don't have that personal connection to what Cold War-era America was like. I didn't watch Ronald Reagan say "Government is the problem" while eating my tv dinner. I was probably napping in my crib. So when I watch our current political climate and, more specifically the Republicans, I am constantly left wondering,

"Why is there no cost to this?"

I had a very transient childhood where I never went to any school for more than 4 years. Many times I went to a school for as little as a few weeks to a month. Being the The New Kid became my identity to a large degree. I could write a separate diary about the pros(yes there are a few) and cons of that kind of existence but there are other Occupy-related matters which press me to write my very first diary although I am a long time Kossack. Jump with me, won't you?
