I'm not crying, it's just my allergies.

I was over at Daily Kos, where I live these days, and read a diary about how the election is going in Missouri. At the end of the article, posted here was this quote. For me, it says everything that I can't.

"Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children can fly."

Nuff said.

Is that not the most beautiful thing you've ever read? I wanna try to iconize that.

Oh, you fixed your icon! Way cool!

Chris has helped me get my old name out of the dirty lil secret icon too - so I'll be fixing that one soon too!

Awesome.

You should iconize it. Really really. In big letters.

Fantastic! That's one of those brilliant thoughts that is so ingeniously simple that you find yourself saying, why didn't I (or anyone else) think of that before.

Though for consistency's sake it really should be:

"Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Barack could run. Barack is running so our children can fly."

that's just splitting hairs. It's brilliant either way.

Definitely needs to be an icon.
