First of all, I'd like to congratulate Senator Obama for his victory. I truly believe he is the best candidate in the presidential race this time, and I am proud to have annoyed all of my friends and family with my support of him.
I'd also like to congratulate Senator Clinton. While politically she isn't my first choice, I have an enormous amount of respect and admiration for her. Way to shake up the boys club Hillary !!
Some things have been on my mind a lot lately. Both of my children are within 5 years of becoming adults. I am so apprehensive about the world they are going to be going off into. I hate the fact that there is really two different realities out there. One (and I won't lie, the one I hope they can be part of) is a world of opportunity. In that world, there are jobs , affordable places to live, people being decent to one another and equality. The other one (which I hope I've raised them to try and change) has desperation, hate and hopelessness. I didn't want them to have to be faced with so many horrors. I hoped that I would be sending them out into a world without so much selfishness and greed. I don't want them to be infected with the "me and only me" attitude that seems to permeate our society. I guess I can only hope that I've done a good job as a parent . Sigh.
