Rise up, rise up young folks...and bring our dreams to the future!

One of the telling moments in Rev. Dr Braxton's speech came as he recalled that young people have always been on the front line when it comes to change...
(as a sad footnote, I am deeply troubled by reading about young people who are trashing neighborhoods in Oakland... not all young people, of course, but I am sure there has to be a lot more listening by all concerned in Oakland, just as there needs to be listening throughout all of Pierce County and Washington State)
And I am smiling thinking of the young people who worked so hard during this presidential election (lots for Obama, lots against)... we are fortunate to live in a country where all of us can speak and act honestly and freely...
