Wait, Rachel - is your great-grandmother Ann Nixon Cooper?! Because if so, I want you to tell her how amazing she is, and give her a hug for me next time you see her! I love her and her spunk (I saw an interview with her on ABC News yesterday, she's sharp as a tack!). yupyupyup!! We call her granny (mom and I) but yeah, Ann Nixon Cooper is my great grandmother. And yes, she's very sharp...and at times a bit brutally honest...but we love her so, and we're very, very proud of her. ^_^

Congrats to Obama. Let's hope this figurative utopia of his comes true (and proves me wrong) so he can lead the nation on to greatness.

Now that the election is over, I think there needs to be a new thread geared more towards American political activity in general. This thread's kind of fizzling down.

Perhaps a thread for accountability: keeping track of promises made and kept, or why and how they may not have been. And a thread for personal responsibility: closing that gap Obama likes to talk about, the one between what we say and what we do. www.huffingtonpost.com/linda-bergthold/what-now_b_141568.html

Hurm, I like to leave the "enforcing your own personal beliefs on the lives of others" to the conservatives, so I like to stay out of talking about gun rights. But the people for whom "OH NO MAH GUN RIGHTS ARE BEIN' VIOLATED" is a particularly major issue in the election need to get their priorities straight.

^^ I thought that running out and buying guns was a particulalry disturbing reaction to any election result let alone the election of America's first black President.
Ive got personal views about my right not to get shot overiding the other guys right to shoot but Ill save that for another thread.
