"We are no longer a manipulated mass, a nation of children embarrassed by our father's simple-mindedness and impulsive rage."
it is so strange to actually be living through the moments that define history, to think that one day i will likely say to someone much younger and beautifully unaware of the radical injustices we know now, "i was a senior in undergrad when we elected the first black president of the united states." we were practically crying in cac forum today, cheering and yelling and clapping our way through the inauguration.
also, wade wants me... in her human rights and social justice. what am i to do? she wants it, so, i gotta give it to her.
now to bed so i can wake up for 6 AM power hour with mike duquette.
