In need for some inspiration

I wake up this morning to a glimmer of a change for American Society. My thanks go first and foremost to the president "elect" George Bush. It is because of the last 7 draining years that we begin to get off our couches and demand a change. Yesterday was the first caucus, that is, the first state to choose its representing candidate for the November 2008 election, and Barak Obama won. Nobody would have expected that in this day and age, when we inhibit the right of gays to get married, we support a rash act of discrimination like Gena 6, we embark on an imperial war against the eastern world and their way of life, and we aggresively continue to cause irreversible damage to our environment we would be ready to lie down our prejudice and believe in a dream, be taken by our ideas and our hopes for change. Those who supported the Democratic candidate last night, believe in America, as it stands, from the very words of its founders. A country very different than the one we live in today. This is something to wake up to , something to admire and to see hope in. It is a generational change, young people leaving behind the confort of their bubble worlds and seeing that unless something is done, we are headed for a dark ride. At this, many will complain, many of my fellow idealists will distrust Barak Obama. I have already heard the cries of people who believe in the independent party or in the small Democratic candidates who don't get any money behind their campaign. I say to them "you know what? Feel inspired by what doors will open up as a cause of this, dream a little and trust a little. Money DOES lie behind mostly everything in this world, and the average guy is not willing to invest their own time to seek out their favorite candidate. People have become lazy and complacent, they are like toddlers, in need of stimuli and visuals, if this is so, then so be it. Whatever it takes to give American citizens the first push to get off their couches and vote. "
