the afterglow

I have a little faith restored in this democracy of ours. Unfortunately, there were plenty of asinine, ignorant, and outright racist and hateful remarks on facebook and other forums that blunted my enthusiasm for the moment. Really, America? Is this how pervasive your darker side is? If so, I can only choose to call you on it, and try to move forward, hoping to drag you along. Like it or not, we're in this together.

And after the ugliness subsides, it still blows my mind what we as a nation have just done.

Hope and prayers for our new leader, and for us all.
