Timber, VERY well written!
Wolf, what's actually 'sad' is the fact that you obviously cannot see that an entire country, and an entire world in many respects has gotten 'so worked up' over the idea of hope and of optimism. I was ½ asleep last night with the TV on and I heard one of the newscasters comment on how this has shattered the glass ceiling and opened the doors of opportunity for a whole new group of ideas and thoughts and skills that for the most part have previously gone untapped. I think that, in and of itself warrants a sense of optimism in people.
I don't have a problem admitting that I am worked up over this. I am hopeful and optimistic because of the results of this election, and by seeing what can be accomplished when people wake up and decide to stand together. I even cried tears of joy and I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
For more reasons than any of us know, this is a monumental moment in our country's history and it means so many different things to different people.
It's sad that you're so close-minded you don't recognize any of that.
Off to work now…..
