It is most fitting
“I cannot, for my nation, my culture, my class, demand privileges which I refuse other groups.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
It is a terrible thing that so many of this great nation's politicians have not and will not grasp this ideal. But yesterday, the people spoke, and spoke loudly, clearly and with great emphasis. In Maryland, in Maine, In Minnesota and hopefully in Washington State, too, voters turned away from the hate and the lies and gave all of their citizens the same privileges that the majority enjoy.
The fiftieth anniversary of Eleanor Roosevelt's passing is today. With yesterday's election results, I think she'd be pleased to see how her work as continued.
