The History We Make
A friend of mine wrote me this earlier today:
The great thing about voting for Obama tomorrow is not that you will be able to tell your grandchildren that you did one day, but that they won't understand why it was so significant.
Of course, it's our obligation to explain to them why it was so important, but they won't understand it in the same visceral way that we, or our parents and grandparents, do.
