>>Anyone who reads even the posts on this forum knows this was not everyone's choice. What I think is indisputable, though, is that given our racial history -- slavery, lynchings, hate crimes, riots, discrimination, and not all of it behind us yet -- the election of a black President is a historic event. I am indeed proud of my country today.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
