History Today

I’ve been reading all of the “Good News” about the Democrats since the election. Okay. So the Democrats have won. We are now in power. This is history in the making. Speaking of “History”, let me give you a little history about me. When Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a Dream” speech, I was only 18 years old. Today I witnessed another historic event at the ground breaking for the Martin Luther King Monument - the first for a person of color and the first for a non-President. There were a vast variety of speakers: politicians (including our President and our former President, Bill Clinton), celebrities, news casters, and businessman.

Needless to say, I know every one on that stage today did NOT share “LOVE” for each other; but I saw people of all races and ethnicities in the audience. Everyone was talking and smiling, sharing towels to wipe off the wet seats for each other, sharing umbrellas, cameras, and binoculars. I say all of this to make a point: everyone was showing a positive attitude. If we (Democrats and Republicans) would all put forth a positive attitude, put aside our personal differences and do what is BEST for this country, what a GREAT people we would be! Think about it!!!!
