(a nod to the inability of many to define socialism).<BR/><BR/>With that said, just because history has shown us that some countries were unable to manage a socialist society does not mean all acts/forms of socialism is bad. Socialism can become a very great thing so long as the country is ready for it and so long as the people of that country do not use it as a mask for something evil.<BR/><BR/>Heck, democracy can be just as evil under the wrong hands and used in the wrong sense of the word....Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06145074096562252019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-6675433055835029262008-11-06T13:17:00.000-07:002008-11-06T13:17:00.000-07:00There was dancing in the streets on Tuesday night ...There was dancing in the streets on Tuesday night here in Portland.

I wasn't there so I don't know what the tone the students were taking or even how old they are (em would know better). But maybe it might have been said out of concern for Obama. I have thought something similar, not out of hate but genuine concern for life. There are people that HATE for no other reason than color. It is sad but true and some of those people might feel compelled to be evil. And so maybe it wasn't a "He better watch his back!" but rather "I hope he's careful and no harm comes to him because of certain people."

I was up 'til the wee hours watching the historic events and I missed breakfast altogether.<BR/><BR/>I remember watching race riots (on TV) in conjunction with elections when I was a teenager, and I am so proud to see how this country has matured in my lifetime. It thrills me. <BR/><BR/>I am horrified to hear that little kids would talk about the KKK in conjunction with Barack Obama. Parents who wouldn't allow an R-rated movie in their homes, and who wouldn't utter a swear word in front of their kids, ought to realize the poisoning effect of such a hateful attitude.

I proudly volunteered and voted for Obama - I can only hope that the citizens of the United States can come together to build a better future for the generations to come. I also hope that those opposed to Mr. Obama can heed the words of Senator McCain and come together in this when the country faces immense challenges. It scares me to read that young children are invoking hatred to describe a man whom they likely know little about - thanks to Em for teaching them that our differences are what makes us a great nation.

Also, Obama is NOT a socialist. He worked on Wall Street for a time, yo, that's a capitalists playground.<BR/><BR/>Also, W's banks bank bail out bunkorama is pretty darn socialist.<BR/><BR/>I think people think Obama's robin hood style tax system is socialist...but it's not. Really, it's not. Read history folks, and wake up to a new day.<BR/><BR/>Also, the post about the kids telling Obama to 'watch out for the KKK' is just frightening.
