In 100 years time historians will look back on this era of humanity, when very few of us remain, and ponder this turning of the celestial wheel. The age of hate, greed, envy, me...me...me is tantalisingly coming to an end, and with one voice the American people are ushering in a new age of hope, compassion, and hopefully lessons learned.
I went to bed hoping that 50.1% of American voters would help turn the wheel, and to my absolute astonishment, and utter glee, a significant majority have mandated that America will move into the next age. No jaded emperor was able to stop it, not heavenly mandate from the corporations or the pulpit could fudge the inevitable, indeed the whisper of change so promised in the 2004 key note speech has become a mighty roar, a tsunami, a hurricane of tumultuous change.
On January 20th 2009 the world will awake to the dawn of this age of hope - let us hope that Mr Obama has the presence of mind to have someone quietly whisper in his ear 'you are mortal', and then let us dare to hope that the maladies that presently afflict this blighted world will start to be salved by this man who is destined for greatness.
