Election Reflections

1) The joy and hope I see in the faces of African-Americans today is nothing short of beautiful and has been utterly delightful to witness. There's no way I can understand the enormity and significance of last night in comparison to those who have suffered the injustices of slavery and discrimination. However, I am incredibly grateful that we have taken a major step in healing the racial divide that has tragically characterized this nation for the greater part of it's short history. I rejoice with those who now have new-found hope in the power of American democracy!

2) Apparently I have a LOT of rich friends! I never knew that so many people under the age of 30 were making more than 200k a year. And to think you can make that kind of money and still find time to update your Facebook status! No wonder Obama's tax policy is so maligned!!!

3) McCain's acceptance speech was well-done and brilliantly composed. It's a shame that his campaign took a decidedly negative path when Palin went rogue. 

4) There are far more ways to limit abortion than moral legislation. When we give up the Constantinian notion that our civil forefathers embodied the faith of our spiritual fathers, than we can make some headway.
