i couldn't sleep. tonight/this morning i can't because i'm crying too hard. In a weird way, maybe we should kinda thank Bush for giving us this election, LOL. Seriously though...i doubt it would've happened unless he'd been there first to get ppl so motivated and upset and READY!!! Weird thing to thank the guy for. Oh, I never thought i'd see this day. Not after working this hard in the last election and being so broken over it. I mean, i knew this miracle was *possible*, but deep inside my inner pragmatist was beating up the inner idealist and telling me it wasn't PROBABLE...because it would just be too good to be true. History has been made in our lifetime, and though the road ahead isn't going to be easy, for him or any of us here or in the rest of the world, for now I can be damn proud of this country and of being a part of it; for the first time in so long that i almost forgot what that felt like. I am just in awe of America right now. And that's something i didn't know i'd ever feel again except in moments of terrible despair like Katrina, when people pulled together. But this... Truly; if we did this, despite a failing system, we can do anything. I actually feel hope. That in itself is such a sea change that it feels like enough right there. And the fact that we have just elected a black man as US president, right over the top of that system, makes me think that maybe this country has finally grown up a little. Amen, Blessed Be, and...just for now, i think we deserve also to PARTAY!!!! Congrats Mr. President Elect Barack Hussein Obama. May we protect you long enough for you to try to do what you aspire to in your call to service; and may we try to come together enough, as both candidates asked, to help make it possible yet again. Thank God/Goddess/Spirit and everyone who worked so hard to make this happen. Maybe i can sleep today, after all. Even Prop 8 isn't wholly breaking the spell for me right now, cuz i know it won't last long. I've just been schooled. Tonight i believe anything is possible, though for those married couples soon to be dissolved, i can only week the other kind of tears. But right now, i BELIEVE that yes we motherfucking CAN!!! Thank you Mr. Obama, for that, and thank YOU, all of you, for giving us this!!! Tags: activism, life, politics

This first article shows a good compare and contrast. The current dig at Stonehenge seems to be a compassionate and respectful one, damaging as little as possible, ruffling the fewest possible feathers, working with all for the education of all... And then there is just being arses about something. *** Archaeologists Start Stonehenge Dig By GREGORY KATZ,AP Posted: 2008-03-31 18:29:17 ( Read more... )Hill of Tara debate: http://www.hilloftara.blogspot.com/http://www.petitiononline.com/hilltara/"Through the night and the cold, through the mist without rest, cursed by magick of old, you will never be blessed. You'll be aching with grief for the light of the day. For your lack of belief, it's the price that you pay! You've forgotten our ways and refused to hold true. 'Tis the end of your days; 'tis the ending of you! Come and ride! Come and ride! Mystified...by our powers! Come and ride! Come and Ride! Soul denied, you are OURS!"

Okay; this one is not so much for the CLex as just for anyone who's gone through...well, the whole goddamned ridiculous thing. This song is something EVERYONE should hear...and what she says in the last stanza... Tell your children, please. Love is NEVER wrong. I have always loved this song; but it makes me cry, because it should not even be an ISSUE anymore; or ever. Hundreds, thousands of years of crippled souls, lost loves, tortured lives; and for WHAT?! It's only love. We all want it, we all need it, so what's the big damn deal? It's only love, people. *** ( Silent Legacy )Tags: activism, gay, injustice, lyrics, sexuality
