To the anonymous commenter, you are a creep and a coward. I deleted your comment. Don’t bother coming back.

Hey Kris

I’m coming to Y-town for T-giving – maybe we can get together. Your posts make me miss the area.

I’m with you on this post. I loved attending the YSU festival and you brought back so many memories with this post.

I am proud of you for going to support folks being treated as second-class citizens. I had something I couldn’t get out of to go.

Besides that truth be told even as a heterosexual I would have had to be careful if the media was around as I might catch flack from my employer if I was seen attending.

I’ve always been damn the torpedoes and forget about any personal self damage but it’s gotten harder to be that way when you have to think of your family. That’s one reason I really respect these good folks.

My 16year-old daughter was thrilled that Obama won, as was I. I am optimistic that my daughter’s generation doesn’t see minorities and gayness as something to fear.

At 12am last night I watched CSPAN as callers supporting McCain said the election would not stick because Obama was not born in the U.S. I thought this falsehood was put to bed months ago. I went to bed pessimistic about change and unity.

I turned on CSPAN’s call in show at 7 am and heard McCain callers say, “Fuck that N word.” I was shocked that CSPAN didn’t have a better delay system. Again pessimism about change and unity.

I noticed McCain signs on my work route at 7:30 am. were mostly removed. I was hoping this showed unity and I was optimistic.

I entered work and faced an angry racist I work with. She’s a Democrat and was a Hillary supporter but voted for McCain because she said, “I ain’t voting for no N word.” She had a tale to tell about two young black guys terrorized her at a gas station saying, whites will now be their slaves. I suspect she lied to prove her point to another racist in the room. How sad that these two think they’re good Christians. How sad they work around children. I was back to being pessimistic about change.

I listened to Rush at lunchtime whine bout now having to pay more taxes. I listened to Hannity on 1330 on the home drive and heard him screaming how the world is now ending. This would have made me pessimistic about change but I was so damn happy that these evil twins were having strokes I smiled all the way home!

I’m glad my kids can see that other young people like Brooke appreciate this area and stay here to make it even better.

It gives me hope for their future.

Big kudos to Brooke ~ Jim Jordan
