Hey y'all.
I wish I had more good news tonight. I'm glad Obama won the presidency in the US. I hope it leads to a reparation of the reputation of the US abroad. The US got a lot of bad press out of W and I think the worldwide opinion of McCain wouldn't allow him to be the great bridge-builder even if he tried hard. So I see some good there.
California just banned same sex marriages. The United States used to be a place of Liberty and Freedom. The more they legislate religious morality, the more they become a place of Restriction and Prejudice. So overall I'm going to call that one step forward and two steps back.
Honestly, I'd rather have seen McCain in the White House and gays continuing to marry in California. I suspect there would have been less overall damage.
And, to end on a happy note; I wanted to say thanks to all you artists who are helping DA *ahem* I mean 'Santa Claus' give out artwork to people like me this Christmas. I'm not a religious guy, but I do believe in things like brotherhood and generosity regardless of the occasion. So thanks you guys. Your donation of time and effort is very much appreciated. Even if I don't send in a request, you guys are awesome.
