Tonight at our weekly sidewalk peace vigil (ongoing weekly since 2001), a bus driver stopped in front of us, opened the door, and said "Obama won, so why are you still out here?". I answered: "Because there are still wars going on." He nodded his head in agreement and then stated, "I’m afraid it’s going to get worse before it gets better."
Although people are really happy that Obama has won the presidential race in an historic presidential election, and that the Bush cronies will no longer be in office, I do feel that there is cautious optimism….
