The beginning of a new era has begun. Let's not be negative already. Let's not lose hope and faith so quickly without giving President-elect Obama. Let's not make rash statements of cynicism, pessimism, or prejudice already.
We are not soothsayers. We do not know whether our new leadership will bring about change good or bad. What qualifies any of us to make claims such as,"Obama is the biggest mistake" or "your choice was ignorant"? Many of us have not lived long enough to see true disparity and suffering to judge what is truly "a big mistake". And none of us are capable of seeing the future of our world tomorrow, let alone 4 years from now. If we could, life would be better for all.
All that's left is to be optimistic and find ways to move towards that better future that we envision and so often is promised to us. So please stop the negativity. Make not brash, baseless statements but make promises to yourself that you will do something good for us all. Stop fighting against what you think you hate and start fighting for what you believe.
To those in celebration, the time is now to make sure you do as we have said and "Change". And celebrate tonight, because come January 20, 2009, it's time to get to work.
Have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.
All rational answers will be awarded with a "Okay then".
To make it easier, let's take the "homosexuality will be taught to kids in school" right off the table. We all know that's bullcrap. Come on, seriously. We know. I or none of my close friends had marriage taught in school. The only marriage lesson we got was who married Adolf Hitler. Heck, I barely got sex education...which might explain a lot. Ehhhhh. Catholic schools don't count because they're not state funded.
I'm really curious and looking forward to the answers, be them zany or not.
