I know it's been a while ya'll. Today's news of Obama's huge win in Iowa sparked excitement in my head. It was a glimmer of hope within my very critical mind and a genuine happiness that other young people out there (in corn-filled Iowa even!) care about things other than Britney's latest meltdown and are willing to make the effort to help change something that isn't working.
According to NYTimes the Euro is now at $1.47US and a whopping 25% of new condos in Manhattan are being bought by investors in Europe and the Middle East. It may be good for the foreign investors, but it's hard not to notice the fact that America's economy and American's confidence has slipped.
The urban dweller's current obsession with superficial environmentalism is a small start towards change. Carrying little canvas tote bags instead of plastic bags is a start. Not buying disposable, poorly made clothing you don't really need at H&M and Forever 21 is another entry-way. But what's next?
It has to be big change. And I HOPE it's political.
