You know, I hope it will be. I hope that if Obama wins that we can talk about race, class, sex in real adult terms. That people can really be assessed on merit and when they happen to be black or a woman and they are exceptional bitter angry people don't automatically negate their achievements by saying that they got where they are because of affirmative action. That we don't stop caring about people when they move from "potential life" to being born. That schools can be well funded. That people can have health care that is not based on employment but based on the fact that a healthy populace is necessary for a healthy democracy. That people can be more than "tolerated" and seen as full human beings with all the rights and privileges afforded to non-minorities (I'm'a lookin' at you Prop 8.)
But what do I know. I am an Angry Black Woman.
I will go back to my drink now; wake me when it's over.

I've been trying to do these meditations things so calm me down. I don't want to spend today and tomorrow in a constant panic attack. There are two things that will happen wednesday, each depending on what goes down tomorrow. I either wake up, relaxed, knowing I'm not royally screwed for the next 4 years. Or I wake up crying, crawl under my desk, and eat gallons of ice cream until I get so huge I can see Russia from my house.
And also, who ever wins, I have this feeling that Bush will pull a Britney spears, and lock himself in the Oval Office Bathroom with his kids.

In any case, as racially divided as NWI is, I sure was thrilled to see so many people supporting the best candidate.
