Washington DC - A Rally to Restore Sanity

Visiting Washington DC to participate

in the Rally to Restore Sanity organized

by Jon Stewart was an exhilarating experience.

Man and women from all walks of life, all over

united states came with a similar mind set and

purpose, to restore

what seems to be the missing/absent sanity

during this election period.
The media kept showing the angry Tea Party people

shouting and yelling as if their laud

voices somehow will make them being right.

Their anger, even legitimate anger, gave them somehow the permission to ignore the facts, ignore the history, and allowed them to just repeat the same mistakes all

over again.

We were together with around 320,000 people. They all

gathered together on a few blocks along Washington mall. It took us an hour to walk from the hotel to the mall, a walk that should have taken just half the time
because so many people were walking to the same destination with us.

Still, all were so polite, so civil to each other, so happy in a way to find

each other, to know that you are not alone.

Sadly the exhilaration feeling faded away pretty quickly when we heard the election results. Well it seems that insanity won, at least what I think as insanity. It is amazing how the atmosphere have changed in tow years. The one light point in the whole election day was our state of California where Barabara Boxer and Braun won. We will see how the political weather will be in the

next few years.
