Admittedly, I forgot to watch the President's Speech in Tuscon last night. Thankfully, due to the evolution of modern technology, I got to watch it on my computer during my lunch break. Thankfully I work in the corner of the office so nobody noticed me crying in the office.
I don't use this blog to talk about my political opinions, nor do I ever intend to. All I am going to say is that all this nonsense has to stop. Now.

She had been elected to her student council; she saw public service as something exciting, something hopeful. She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted. I want us to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it. All of us - we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations."

It brings back too many memories of this day. And I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.
