There is a time for everything. The time for the poor is supposed to be "ALWAYS". The poor will always be there and we must create a society which has places for those who fall through the grid that enable others to have a good life. We should have alternative ways of making it. One big super-competitive struggle at the top and nothing at the bottom but hand-outs is no way to run a society if you ask me. There should be tiers in society so that those who are semi-disabled and only need a bit of a helping hand can be helped so that they can remain semi-disabled and not run downhill to fully disabled because there was no provision for who they were.
There is a time for everything. There are the special times when something extraordinary fine is happening. People who are pushed under the rug when everything is normal can not get into the spirit when a special thing is happening.
Injustices happen every day and we need to address them in a new way and just maybe this president will help this society to get a fresh look at itself and do things more fairly for the good of everyone. Right this moment we can all afford to put aside our daily anxieties for ourselves and those who need our help and just take a holiday and rejoice.
This is the time for Barrack Obama to be the figurehead and symbol that signals to the world that we and it are changing. The world is slowly leaving behind racism and sexism and ageism and economic classism, and many more isms. If a black man can be elected to be the president of the United States anything can happen. Barrack Obama should be center-stage, not, as one writer argued, the homeless of D.C.
Any writer who wants to down-play this moment and address his or her personal agenda and hurt and/or angry feelings, RIGHT NOW?, is missing the importance of the moment if you ask me.
This possible pivotal point in world history needs as much fan fare brought to it as possible. Our personal lives should for the moment fall into the background as we rally to support this leader for as a new voice of the people. He and everyone that elected him and this inauguration needs applauding the world around. For this deeply important cultural moment the rich and the poor and everybody in between should forget their personal problems, their grievances, just or otherwise, against this culture, and rejoice. This culture may be rebirthing itself.
