Today my fellow bloggers and blog-readers, is November Fifth. And yesterday we made history.
All men are created equal has become a fact today, not just a sweet melody sung on a bad day.
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed us from the shackles around our wrists that bound us to this land, and yesterday when America declared Barack Obama the President-Elect, our souls were freed from the oppression of our own low morale and the weight of even lower expectations.
Today we are in body and spirit and mind free.

You were right.
Yes we did.
