Huge crowds of people from all over the country together and happy, cheering in unison as the moon passed in front of the sun. Partying for a few minutes as day turned to dusk. This is how the majority lives everyday.

Amen. And good things could be accomplished in today's world if those who care about history and the lessons it teaches would utilize that educational opportunity to work towards a better world rather than figuring out destructive ways to continue whining about past problems.

We have made significant strides in just sixty years (those of us born before 1950 know that quite well), and I feel that we need to embrace that and use it to constructively bring people together to work on solutions for problems that still exist.

We will never live in a perfect world, but we can try our darnedest to work on what matters -- and tearing down inanimate objects just doesn't do it for me.
