Today I am again proud of my country. It's been a struggle these past 8 years watching as we lost standing in the world. Feeling helpless as our leaders pushed forward in their arrogance with little regard to our history, our constitution, our integrity. Today I watched the video stream into my cube and listened to the speeches and saw the hundreds of thousands of people who so passionately look forward to reclaiming our country.
In my head I heard the lyrics of You've Got to Be Carefully Taught, from South Pacific and I realized that we can teach something different. We can teach that all are equal. That all are to be respected for what we bring to this nation, this world. That together we can accompish more than we can alone.
I'm finding my optimism growing and my cynisism diminishing. Know hope.
