My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
I can't even believe it. We have a hapa President.
Edit: I think of him as hapa, rather than "black." Lemur at least will get it. ;)

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

It started with "I have a dream!"...........
Re: The Final US Election Thread
So there it is.
President-elect Obama.
I've read this reflection several times, but it bears repeating.
It is an extraordinary tribute to the American Revolution's ability to reinvent itself in every generation, that the 44th President could have been owned as a piece of property by the first 16.
The United States are truly the most astonishing, wonderful country in this world. God Bless her, and all her citizens.

That's the usual connotation as there are so many mixes of Polynesian-Asian-white in Hawaii, but hapa is really any mixed race person.

According to Fox, Wicker has held on to his seat in Mississippi, apparently making it highly, highly unlikely that the Democrats will attain a filibuster-proof majority.

Re: The Final US Election Thread
I think you are wrong on that Kukri, it is very much historic and most honourable. Quite brilliant.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.

Re: The Final US Election Thread
Ugh. Listening to the commentators. "Black" this and "black" that. Its fricken black history year. Civil rights blah blah blah. What a crock. Get over it. I hate how these **** just keep seperating us on race. I hate it.
I just don't want to hear it. And I voted for the guy.

Re: The Final US Election Thread
Most if not all American non-whites probably feel this is a very big deal. :)
Edit: Give me a freakin break guys! This is history. This is stuff minorities in this country have wanted and hoped for for three centuries. Getting a President of your race is no big deal if you're a white guy. Let people enjoy it. ;)

Re: The Final US Election Thread
Congratulations to President-elect Obama and to America. I hope your choice proves to be the correct one.
As it is 4am here, I bid you all goodnight.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
Also, congratulations to Obama. I hope he fulfills his promise to work with whomever it takes to make the country a better place. I'd rather not see him and the Dems fall into the same trap that Bush and the Republicans did. A vote is NOT an absolute mandate.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
