I think also that it is a sad say for our country and the world. To be honest, though, I have tuned it out for some weeks because it was clear what was going to happen.

Spill your guts out brother bear. We're listening. My ancestors have been here for centuries, and i feel the same dam way. The founders of this republic are rolling over in their graves right now I'm sure. At least Wall St. isn't celebrating today. -gg-

Re 19358 I'm not too proud of the fact that Gephardt came from this state, either -- he doesn't reflect the values of the majority here -- or I'm way out of touch ...

MMV, thank you for your thoughtful post. Please tell your daughter not to be sad that she wasn't born in the USA, because she was born in India, the birthplace of one of the greatest civilizations on Earth, with a great culture, a great heritage, and much to be proud of. People from India seem to have a special gift for computers, for example. Many of this country's finest citizens were born in other countries. This is a nation of immigrants. I am part American Indian, so I may be more conscious than most that the rest of you guys are new-comers, it's just a matter of when. If you or she become American citizens, you will simply be, in my opinion, Americans, regardless of where you were born. As for being ashamed of Clinton, we have lived through much shame from our politicians and managed to survive, and this too, shall pass.
