What a day! What a great set of 4 days!! I did not think I would live to see the day when my American contemporaries would get excited about political change, about making the world a better place. I've often lamented that I was born in the wrong decade (wishing to be part of the 60's movements), and resented the prevailing notion that being indifferent to politics and the state of our nation is "cool." Well, no more! And it is up to all of us, not a charismatic leader, to encourage enthusiasm and action in response injustice and inequality! It is up to us to not be afraid of speaking up about our beliefs - it is the only way to help them become more relevant and prevalent.
