One More Week
“In one week”………..I heard those words this morning when I watched a video of Barack Obama in Canton, Ohio yesterday. He was reminding the country that in one week we could be on the road to change. I felt great pride and hope as I remembered the changes that were initiated by Franklin Roosevelt when we faced the most daunting challenge of the last century. Roosevelt went part of the way and now we can go further. Notwithstanding the fact that all humans are fallible and wanting to get these things accomplished is not the same as getting them it done, I have great hope for changing this country. I believe that there are fundamental rights that all human beings should have—the right to live in dignity with decent food, shelter, education, and healthcare. These things we must have and provide for others if we are to call ourselves human beings. It has been a long 21 months, but it will be worth it when we finally get on the road to where we should go.

Right on, mom! Although I'm getting quite nervous because it's only a week away. I talked with dad today and had to hear him talk about how 'Obama will be horrible for this country and will destroy everything we've worked for'. AND to top things off, he thinks Palin is the best thing since sliced bread. Hence, the reason why I'm anxious to find out how election day goes down.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's not genetically passed on!
