Dizzizzit

What's with power and why are we so afraid of it, when we confidently know we won't abuse it? Perfection may not exist, but I remain faithful that there are capable people who deserve more to be in power rather than doubtful passivity; if I may coin a term, that'd be blind fear, and it's synonymous to pointless. I am not one of them capable creatures, unfortunately, but I believe I have a friend who is.

Let's call her Obachma. And I hope she's reading this, because this will probably be one of the last few times I shall tell her this fact before I become an enemy:

You can do this.

And while I'm momentarily sharing in the Obamania happening in spots all over the globe—it's like a pre-Christmas Christmas atmosphere out there—I'd like to quote the new U.S. President in his victory speech and hope Obachma and a few more friends pick up some inspiration:

"... victory alone is not the change we seek, it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

"... This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity... to restore prosperity... reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the
spirit of a people:

"Yes we can."
