We have a new president who seems to have a vision that includes every human being living a life of equality.  He's half Anglo-Euorpean and half African descent.  He's like an Oreo.  I love Oreos.  Half black and half white, great balance in a cookie.  The electoral votes won him by a huge margin but the vote of the people wasn't so divided.  That tells me that there are a huge number of people in this country that fear him and his liberal ideals and there are a large number that fear him because he's half black and half white.  I'm sure these same people have been eating Oreos all their lives and never thought twice about it.  Why does it have to be more complicated than that?

I remember when I was a kid there was this rumour about someone finding a kakaroach in a Butterfinger.  That's what I feel like today.  We have a new president that I'm hopeful will pull this country back together financially and help regain some respect in the world.  But in California, Arizona and Florida, the right for people of the same sex has been butchered.  These people that voted against the rights of their fellow human beings are living in the dark ages of fear for no reason.  Why would you want to deny human rights to a human being that only wants to display love?  I'm just chomping along on this Butterfinger wondering if I got the one with the kakaroach in it... and I'm feeling it's pretty likely.  It's a bittersweet victory today.
