"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate and tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." Samuel Adams
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
"It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different -- that their voice could be that difference.
"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled -- Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states: We are, and always will be, the United States of America."
cm ~ I gotta meet M squared knowing that we'd have to avoid all things political like tip-toeing thru a landmine. But I'd like him, I know. Danielle sure does!
Hey Cheri - that's so cool. I miss those relationships that go so far beyond co-workers! Lately, I've been thinking ... politics are such an insignificant thing to disagree on. There are so many greats in life that we can dwell together in ... like good wine, an autumn hike and smart journalism!

Yup ... he's a talker. :)
Hey, D! I had coffee with Mike McLellan yesterday, and he reminded me of how much I miss you. It's fun hearing him talk about people I know.
He describes you as huge -- in talent, in spirit, in heart.
I love that.
Even if you do share some of your mom's politics ;)
