Hope and Personal Accountability

OMG... He Did It!!!!!!!!

I am feeling a bit giddy this morning. America is changing forever.

The results of this election will have a profound impact on millions upon millions of Americans. We are entering a new era, one whose impact upon all of us hasn't even sunk in yet. Hope has been renewed. Our ideals have changed and it is time that they become recognized. We have stood up against fear and smear. We have demanded more!

Entitlement will finally take a back seat to personal accountability for the first time in decades. We have just proven that anything is possible. Individual personal philosophies will be molded by this event as new ideals and role models emerge.

We did not fair as well in the GLBT community. Many of the propositions to ban gay marriage in various states have passed. However, this morning, I am not bothered by this. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. We have made so much progress in the past decade and will continue to make more. We are the last in a long line of equal rights movements, we just have to wait our turn. It will be here before you know it.
