This morning we wake up to find that our nation has elected its first President who is of African American decent. Though Carol and I voted for Barack and were hopeful that he would win, I think the greater joy is to see how much our Nation has grown up, just in our life time.
We are so encouraged to see that our nation had the strength and courage to break with tradition and elect an African American to it's highest office. We are both liberal minded when it comes to most national issues, and Barack seemed like a natural fit for us. It is the first time that we went so far as to put a sign up in our front lawn. The irony of it is, because we lost our house earlier this year, the house we are in now, isn't ours, it's our land Lords.
None the less, we are very proud and hopeful for our nation. I also hope that this chain of events will allow our nation to really get past some of the Racism that still exists. Some of it real, some of it in minds of those who think they are oppressed when maybe they really are not. In our nation, if you work hard enough, trust in those around you, you can accomplish anything you so desire.
It is a great day for the United States of America and we have a brand new future ahead of us!
Happy Camping! - Eric -
