"Nov. 4, 2008, will go down in history as the day that, on the highest symbolic plane, the Rev. Martin Luther King's dream that one day his children would be judged 'not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character' ceased to be a dream and became a reality."

Damn, Gary Kamiya nailed it !! That was an amazing and powerful article !!
yeah, great great essay.
Choice quote: In his classic defense of free speech, "Areopagitica," John Milton famously wrote, "Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks." After eight nightmarish years of Bush, Milton's words feel like a benediction.
