The real reasons I'm so interested in the US elections today:

1) The pain that was watching the '04 elections.
2) The fact that we practically have no real elections here at home.
3) I AM ON THE BARACKADE.

GO NEW HAMPSHIRE. BEGIN THIS BATTLE. BLUUUUEEE, GO BLUEEEE.

Why I care about Barack Obama, even though I'm not American. )

His words are best:


"... white or black, gay or straight ...

... those who are cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history to bend it once more."

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
