good times

i am not going to go on and on and on about how thrilled i am that Mr. Barrack Obama is going to be our next president. his speech on tuesday was phenomenal. i really BELIEVE this guy. i believe that he has what it takes to fix our economy, fix our healthcare, mend our relationships with other countries in the world (at least some of them. at least to make them stop laughing at us) etc etc etc. i am so excited & inspired to have an intelligent man be our next president. (no offense W, well actually, yes - you should take offense. i will be glad to see you go) i also have to give props to Senator McCain for his speech, the message he carried of unity & moving forward.

my children will never know a world where a black man "can't" be president of the USA. no i was not alive during segregation. but i get what this means. i believe that this man and the people who voted for him, even the ones that didn't, have the power to change our nation - our world maybe? to shatter our completely whacked out belief systems, our fear of one another. to silence the "old tapes" in us that play in even the most educated, open-minded of people.

this is going to be good.
