Historic Events...

I've felt something this week. I can't properly describe it. "Pride" is the wrong word. Maybe "wonder", or "honor", or "fresh". What has happened is certainly unprecedented. An African-American has won the nomination for President of the United States. He has a serious chance of winning the general election. I feel like the earth moved, and it has. I did not think I would see this happen in my lifetime.
Of course if Senator Clinton had won, it would have also been of huge historical significance. Discrimination is a shameful thing. Let's hope the events of 2008 have brought us as a country to a new place in that respect.
