It's a great day for America

A couple pf nights ago, Craig Ferguson delivered this wonderful monologue at the beginning of his show:




I think that last line is particularily relevant to many of us. "We are more than a country. We are a dream."

I consider myself an American, and this country is no less than a dream. It has its faults, to be sure, but I honestly believe there is no other place like this in the world. People do not flock to other countries like they do-- still, after more than two hundred years. People do not just pack up and leave their home country-- like my parents did-- for no reason. I did not choose to come to this county, unlike my parents. But I am choosing to stay and fight for my right to stay, because I think it's worth the fight. Even if, like Sisyphus, I am faced with a futile task, I will keep rolling my boulder up that mythical hill for as long as the slightest hope for success exists.
