The Election

Those of us who were hippies in the late 60's were very naive. We did not know how much of a backlash there would be against us and how long it would last. We have suffered most of our lives and been held back by the backlash. We have waited year after year, decade after decade. Yes, we have SIGNIFICANTLY chipped away at the world we protested. The election results on Tuesday will tell us if we have finally triumphed over the decades of backlash against us. If McCain wins, we will have four more years to wait and to continue to chip away at the backlash. If Obama wins, we will be above 50% there. We will have STARTED the process of triumphing over the persistent and cruel backlash. Make no mistake, we WILL triumph over the backlash. Will it be now, will it be four more year, eight more years? Let's hope our time has finally come, but if is hasn't, IT WILL!!!!
