Hi Mike,
I watched Obama last night. Being the softie that I am, I was moved by this speech. I thought about my emotional response, and realize even after all these years of revulsion at the corruption I see everywhere I look, that I still believe in what
America can be and should be. So, I'm enjoying the brief feeling
that maybe there will be a better day for us all.

I think watching the opening ceremonies at the Olympics and being shocked by the Chinese, which had a profound visceral impact, as I realized what a powerhouse rich in money and labor ruled by a single minded military complex could accomplish in an impossibly short time had a profound impact as well.

So, two events in the same month probably provided more impact on my view of the World, than I have experienced in the last couple of decades.
