A Day In History
And with those presidential elections that happened yesterday, this day
must be some sort of historical day in history not known since the
beginning of time in America and as old as America itself with the
election of a president yesterday. And so I found myself wandering
around in search of a newspaper for one of those collectors editions on
this what is being called a historic day in the presidential elections,
and those newspapers were all sold out by 8am this morning and nowhere
to be found. And the only thing left in their place were "Sold Out"
signs. And I must have encountered about four other people who were on
one of those same in search of a newspaper for a collectors item of
those presidential elections yesterday as I was. And after about the
tenth store, I gave up in search of that presidential collectors
edition of a newly elected president of America. And this election is
bringing terms into the news like "Jim Crow". And who or what is a Jim
Crow and a Jim Crow Law. And that can be a whole another blog posting.
And today's edition of the New York Metro Newspaper, that free newspaper that I happen to get a copy of today, says the word of the day is: Free:
adjective 1. enjoying personal rights of liberty, as a person who is
not in slavery: a land of free people. 2. existing under, characterized
by, or possessing civil and political liberties that are, as a rule,
constitutionally guaranteed by representative government: the free
nations of the world. And not since memory, have I heard and seen the
sounds and cries of joy in the streets as I have heard last night. Have
a great election day after.
