That was a great essay, and so full of the hope we all feel now.

I recall seeing that picture of Earth for the first time, and it made EVERYONE stop in their tracks and rethink things.

We are at that same crossroads now. I love your bringing in to all of this the need for us to shore up our image as that place of hope in the world.

Who am I dedicating my vote to? All of the people who are choosing hope over hate, young people, old people, city and rural, whatever we see that divides us will now UNITE us.

I dedicate the vote to my young grand-nephew and grand-niece. Their mom is white, their dad is African-American. And I vote fore THEIR future, as well as the WORLD'S future.
