It's one decision, one choice at a time, sometimes cancelled or wiped out by the choices and decisions of others. A few steps forward, then many steps backward.<BR/><BR/>It's taken us 65 million years to evolve to where we are now. It's going to take a while longer for us to get to a point where we can at least tolerate one another. My hope is that this is the beginning of that evolution. That's what I was celebrating on the Mall, what I wanted my children to witness in a way that couldn't be experienced by watching it at home on TV.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16189485834914559162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525298.post-60019805791366779002009-01-23T11:53:00.000-05:002009-01-23T11:53:00.000-05:00Hi Cynthia,Yes, it was an historic day.

I feel that the historical significance surpassed the local significance, in that I still have reservations about what kind of "change" will take place given the infested political system in this country, but there is no question that "President Obama" is a refreshing phrase.<BR/>I have some "Native American" friends who tell me that they prefer to be referred to as Indians. And some black friends also tell me that they don't care for the term "African American", as well-meaning as the label tries to be.Spartan8https://www.blogger.com/profile/11683955971264763176noreply@blogger.com
