Reply #4: I call it perspective. [View All]

You've brought up something that I've been watching. This ratcheting down. OK, Obama won, and now we can find a new outrage.

I wish my rage had started in 2000. In a way I was relieved to find that many in this country were finally going to catch up with me. But that's another subject.

I think we've spent so much time keenly focused on a disaster that everything we see now is disaster.

It's important to step back. And look. Just see. And what we see now is something on the other end of the spectrum.

I have always said that there is a level above which satisfaction occurs. Maybe it's Pavlovian, but sometimes even when we're above that supposed level, we're unhappy. I'd love to tell my story. It's very much like DU lately. I've almost got the whole world in my hands. But each step of the way I've encountered something that appears to be below that level in which I find satisfaction. And so here I am, angry, with the whole world in my hands.

Our direction is going to change. And that's a big deal. But I'm not upset about his appointments. I'm very disturbed that the sitting president has destroyed everything around him, leaving perhaps nothing that Obama can do.

I'm sorry about the long post under your thoughtful piece. I just think it's a very simple subject that is very important. Let's celebrate the moment, before we actually do have any good reasons to be disappointed.

Right on. We won.
