Sometimes I just love people, I really do. Have you heard about this Web site, sorryeverybody.com ? It contains a vast array of personal apologies from people in the US to the rest of the world, for the election of George Bush. It’s great; in fact, it’s beautiful.

The only thing that could have possibly topped it would be a Web site with a bunch of “apologies accepted” messages from people in other countries. That would be wonderful, don’t you think? I think it is.*

I didn’t want to do an arms length photo of myself with an apology, though I agree that one is in order, and I don’t mind joining in. Here’s what I sent:

I’m feeling a little better about things. Not that our democracy is any less in jeopardy, or the safety of the planet any less threatened, but I’m reminded that we can always hold on to basic human goodness. There is something that endures.

Yes, I’m aware that there is a site called Notsorryeverybody. They can bite me. I’m feelin’ too good to worry about the unwashed tonight.

*Thanks to Joseph for e-mailing me about Apologies Accepted.
