Title: =/\= To boldly go where no man has gone before...
Post by: stoneyface on January 20, 2009, 12:27:20 pm
at this moment i feel an amazing elation and definite connection to roddenberry's vision of the future. we have taken those steps starting with dr. king and those steps have become a path that has led us to this moment in history. what would dr. king say today if he could have been here? would he have expounded and expanded on his famous "i have a dream" speech? would he smile silently with tears of joy brimming in his eyes as so many in the crowd had in theirs? we will never know...

at this moment in history, i ask you to reflect on how far we have come, and how far we have yet to go. what can you do to personally make this a better world? how can we as a human race move us towards a future envisioned by gene roddenberry? i for one, am proud of how far we have come. i am proud of what has occurred today. i am only saddened by the fact that it took so long. for it is readily apparent that not all people share the dream of a bright enlightened future. i am sad for these people. i take hope and dream that these folks will see the light and realize that our blood is red just like every other human on this planet no matter what color the skin the blood belongs to.

i hope to see you all in this bright new future and i will help you walk the path if needed. you have only need to ask my brother, my sister, and i will lend you my hand...


p.s. i am glad i had that box of tissues next to me for the inauguration ;)  :'(
