Ah, unexpectedly, I am in a good mood today [View All]

This Ma election was, in many ways, like waiting for a terrible other shoe to drop. Finally, it dropped. The worst has happened. It is no longer threatening, it is no longer the constant anxiety of waiting for an awful thing to happen. It happened. The tower has fallen, the tsunami hit and there is massive damage left behind.

I am sorry if I am unable to join in the anger and blame game. I do not apologize for Mass voters, as I never would apologize for any voters. If it makes you feel better to demonize these voters, go ahead, be my guest. But I will neither join you nor wallow in any kind of self-pity or woe is me feeling. It's counter-productive.

There are lessons to be learned here. We should learn from them. There are new structures to be put up that are stronger than the last ones. We should build them. There are voters to reach and people to talk to in order to affect change and that rebuilding. We should do it.

I don't get to lick my wounds and feel bad for myself. It was never about me, so why should I feel that way? It is about what I believe in and making change and that is the hardest thing on the face of this earth to do. We evaluate what happened, look at the defeat, learn from it and move on.
