Something positive

I'm still too depresed about the election to really post much about it, but I came across this quote from Howard Dean and thought it was a good message to get out there:

"There is more to politics than elections. Thousands of young people have discovered, as generations have before them, their efforts matter. Their actions matter because by getting in the game instead of staying on the sidelines, they are empowered, whether or not their candidate wins. Historically, whether through the campaign of Gene McCarthy in 1968 or John McCain in 2000, the enthusiasm and hard work waned after the election. This time we cannot let that happen. Democracy is the most highly evolved system of government ever created by human beings. And like everything else we create, it will wither and die unless we nurture it."

If that doesn't cheer you up, well, at least "The OC" is back. :)

PS. Oh yeah, by the way, I passed the Bar for those of you who haven't heard. It was the only bright spot in my day on Tuesday.
