yes, things are changing

On January 27 Dan was laughing at me.

I am an idealistic person. I like to think about how things could be. That's necessary if you want to achieve change. Otherwise you don't know where you are going.

But to achieve change you also need to see clearly how things really are.

Realism and idealism in a healthy balance, right?

America has nominated an African American as a candidate for president. There is racism in this country, but there is also hope.
