The Meaning of Life #3 - Lipstick on a Pig

It's an interesting time that we live in.. For so many years, we've had the status quo when it comes to the race for the white house. Every year, no consideration for anything other than who's views were the most in-line with ours. A choice between 2 different white guys who had made a career out of politics. Sometimes the choice came down to chosing between the lesser of two evils. This year, like it or not change WILL come to the white house, but it won't be the political agenda. What is going to change this term will be the precendents that have been set over 200 years ago. We're already seeing that change. Suddenly, certain phrases are no longer appropriate. Suddenly, entire groups of people are hanging on every word and actually care because they now feel somehow that they are represented by someone to which they can finally relate.

Personally, I don't think that the mear presence of an African American or a Female vice president can in and of itself change the world, but it will be interesting to see how the world responds to our choice.
