Falling into our Destiny, Palin, The Children,Marvin Gaye(Live)

Peace Good people and Happy Friday to you all!!! Sorry to be behind, this week has been hectic, but I have alot to rant about so let's get to it. I finally got the opprotunity to early vote last night. The feeling was so unbelievable, I honestly didn't expect to react how I did. Of course we all know the importance of this election, that goes without saying. Yet as I entered the polling place (no lines, thank God) I saw about 5 elderly black women, voting and it just hit my heart. My mind took me back to Jim Crow and the old south(though of course I wasn't around) I just imagined what they must have went through. The fear and joy of trying to register to vote and being turned away because of bogus reasons. How humilated some of them must have been, while they were given so called "test" to prove that they were worthy of voting, while whites with less education walked right in. I thought about all that then, I thought about my grandfathers both who barely had 8th grade educations but they stressed voting and how they and there Fathers and Mothers weren't able to do so for so long. I thought back to those blacks and whites who were murdered in Mississippi just to gain the right. I thought about those blacks who were hung from trees because in essence they were tired and wanted a change. Now we sit on the cusp of another change. Barack Obama is the hope of the slave, and my grandfathers and those women at the polling place. Yes he is just one man, but to a little black boy who is only two years old screaming out "yes we can, go Barack", that is a heavy thing. There is no magic that will be involved when he is elected president. Gas will still be high, people will still be loosing jobs, we have to understand that this will take time and patience. It doesn't stop when he gets in office, it just begins. It starts with all of us, now, where ever you are. We must all play our part, we must grab these children, and stop being afraid of them. They want a release and it's up to us to give it them. I urge everyone reading this, take the time and go "early" vote, then take off of work the 4th and take elderly and others to the poles. We ALL have a job to do, it's not just Barack it's up to us all...if we want a real Change.
