and it’s done…

…and it was a beautiful sight to behold! i can only hope this moment didn’t alienate anyone who may have been on the side of mccain and palin but in fact, puts all of the differences aside in an opportunity for us to roll up our sleeves and work together. despite republican or democrat, we need each other, all of us, in order to survive the ordeals ahead. and, fuck it, yes, i’m excited to see an african american in office! how could i not be? i’ll be excited to see a latin american, an asian american, a native american, a gay american or a woman or any other firsts for that matter because change is good! it brings new ideas and new perspective on the american way of life which is so vast and varied. every story is of importance and interest. what kind of world is it anyway when you can’t walk down the street without fear of violence because of who you are ? i have never met anyone whom even if i couldn’t respect, did not deserve the right to share this planet with each and everyone of us. i’ve not met anyone that i was so angry with that i felt violence was the answer. so i watch this parade in admittedly fear, in fear that a camera could be a gun, a grenade or a rifle. a shame that something of this magnitude could be tinged with the possibility of violence. that something so important and historic has to be viewed with my breath held, is so telling. i wish none of us had to feel that way. that none of us lived in fear of being ourselves…p.s. thank you for including us “non-believers”!…
