The Truth Is Often Stranger Than Fiction

So there you have it, America has elected it's first black president. It's surreal in a way. I wanted it to happen but at the same time didn't know if the country was ready for it. But then again after 8 years of Bush I think we would all do something to make a significant change.

I was walking through the halls today at SDMS and had to hold myself back from laughing. There were two 8th grade boys trying to have a very adult conversation about how Democrats now overrule the Republicans in the government and now those damn Democrats are going to get everything that they want. They also spoke about Clinton and how he wasn't too bad, remind you they were infants till the age of 8 while he was president. It made me laugh, especially since I have no clear say on Reagan or the first Bush, I just know what I have been told.Some of the other conversations I heard were intelligent but still had their 8th grade moments, which is the way I think it should be. Children these days try to be adults and end up missing out on their childhood. Yes I think it is fantastic that they are informed, but the responsibility that they take with that information is very overbearing.

But here's to change. It is much needed and expected.
