A Big Ol’ Smile
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
The big day is coming up. Tomorrow we’ll have a new president and our country will begin again, as it has since George Washington, to peacefully change the head of our government. This luxury is not given to every nation. It is, perhaps telling that the nations/cultures that are most against have not been able to effect a government change with the same frequency or lack of violence.
That is not to say we’ve not had our troubles. Our civil war was as bloody and damaging as any, and it took a long time for our people to come fully together. But we did. We’ve lived through assassinations, but our governments did not fall.
So, all week long, we’ll be seeing the very best of Washington DC cosmetic dentistry flashed at us, as everyone wishes the new president well… and gets face time.
Speaking of face time, I just saw on the news that people in the capitol were being asked to keep their cell phone usage to a minimum and to not immediately send the pictures of the inauguration to their friends at home. One of the anchors (who might not have known her mike was on) said, “Yeah, like THAT’S gonna happen.”
It made me laugh.
