Tears of hope and pride sure feel better than tears of shock and sadness

Watching these kids - both yesterday at our rally and today on television, gives me the first rays of hope I've felt in a long while. I wanted to hug each and every one of the amazing students I saw, yesterday. I did thank and praise them with enthusiasm.

are just awesome. When I look back at my high school years I am embarassed at what my concerns were. Of course that was a long, long time ago and we did not have to confront the serious life threatening problems that they face.

I fully own that I've had periods of political lethargy, in the interim, but none lasted for long. Since 2000, I've been back in full time activism mode.
