A Scene from DC
After President-elect Obama’s speech last night, the RTV office wasn’t quite ready to call it a night. Hyped up on coffee and the amazing youth turnout stories pouring in from across the country, a few of us decided to walk over to the White House and soak up the atmosphere. We quickly discovered that we weren’t the only ones with that idea.
As we neared 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the scene became clear. The whole of D.C. was out on the streets. Car horns tapped out the beat to “Yes we can,” strangers high-fived as they passed each other on the sidewalks, and crowds gathered to sing, hug, and generally whoop it up. Even though it was past 1:00AM, the street in front of the White House was teeming with people – young people.
As I stood in the crowd, amazed at the sheer outpouring of energy and positivity, I understood what these last two years have been about. This is what we’ve been working for. This is what you have been a part of. While the people last night were undoubtedly excited about the new president, it was symbolic of so much more. It was about an entire generation buying into the system and believing in the power of democracy. It was about young people finding their voices and finally being heard. It was about strangers coming together and sharing in an experience that could only be brought about through collective action, each person owning a piece of the process.
We did it, people. Enjoy the moment.

Once upon a time, there was an island called the 'Land of the Sun'. People of all world of warcraft goldshapes, sizes and appearances lived there. Everybody knew everybody buy wow goldand they were like one big happy family. But slowly, as time passed, the world of warcraft goldchildren grew bigger and had more children who grew bigger and had more children. Things reached a stage where there were so many wow power levelingpeople in the island that not everybody knew everybody else. People started doing their own things, talking in their own world of warcraft goldlanguages and writing their own scripts. So eq2 platthe elders of the island came together and decided to open a school where the cheap wow goldchildren could be taught about the history, geography, rules, rituals and languages of the people of the 'Land of the Sun'. However, when it came to deciding on the teacher, the group of world of warcraft goldelders was equally divided between two of the candidates - Ms. Know-it-all and Ms. Find-it-out. Since they couldn't decide on which wow powerlevelingcandidate to go with, and being an amicable group of people, the elders decided to have two schools, each being run by the twoworld of warcraft gold candidates. The islanders then sent their children to the wow power levelingschools of their choices. Misses Know-it-all and Find-it-out ran their schools very differently from each other. As a matter of fact, theyworld of warcraft gold were poles apart in theireq2 gold methods of teaching. Miss Know-it-all was a total disciplinarian who believed that children should be only seen and not heard. Unless, they were asked a question and cheap wow goldthey were replying to it. Her belief was simple. She was there to ask questions and the children were there to answer it, after she had taught them the lesson. And god forbid, if they were toworld of warcraft golddisagree with any of her teachings. You see, the children were not allowed to think. On the other hand, Ms. Find-it-out believed buy wow goldthat she did not have all the answers. So everybody was world of warcraft goldallowed to ask questions and everybody tried to find the answers, individually or together. Slowly, the islanders became aware of wow power levelingthis distinction and started taking sides. They broke up the island into eq2 plattwo different zones and built up a wall so that one set world of warcraft goldof people did not interact with the others. Time passed and the children grew bigger. They in turn had children who went to the wow gold kaufensame schools. People on one side of the island came to be called 'Know-it-all' and peopleeq2 goldon the other side of it 'Find-it-outs'. But as the population grew, the space available for the peopleworld of warcraft gold to live in got smaller and smaller. Till one day the people in the 'Know-it-all' land had no standing space. As they pushed and wow powerlevelingshoved each other, the wall dividing them from the dofus kamaspeople of the 'Find-it-out' just gave way. The wall broke down and the two divided people looked at each other for the first time in the century. And what did kamas dofusthey see? The people of the 'Find-it-out' land saw a whole lot of identical looking people staring at them with similar expressions on their faces. These were the 'Know-it-alls'.
They had the smug expressions on their faces which suggested that if there were something to know, they knew of it and whatever they didn't know, was not dofus kamasworth knowing anyway. They were all similarly dressed, moved identically and dofus kamasgasped together, as though on cue. Also, they were cramped together like a pack of sardines in their part of the island. Except for Lord of the Rings Online Goldtheir ages reflected in their physical condition, they could all have been copies of each other! On the other hand, the people LOTRO Goldof the land of 'Know-it-all' discovered that the 'Find-it-outs' were very different. Not just from them but also from each fly for fun penyaother. They wore different coloured costumes, had different expressions on their faces, moved differently, talked differently and behaved in a manner that was not at all alike. What they flyff penyaalso saw was the difference in the physical lands. Whilst the land of 'Know-it-all' was full of nothing but human beings, the Final Fantasy XI gilland of 'Find-it-out' had its entire ugg bootsspace planned out. There were areas for playing, schooling, working ugg bootsand housing. They were not cramped. And they did not seem to be too ugg boots
many people! The peopleeq2 plat from the land of 'Know-it-all' wondered how things had turnedffxi gil out so differently in their two lands. Their elders came forward and enquired of the elders of the land of the 'Find-it-out' as to how they had managed to be so diverse and still be apparentlyLord of the Rings Online Gold happy and prosperous. The friendly elders of the LOTRO Goldland of 'Find-it-out' called on their aging teacher and requested her to share flyff penyathe secret of their prosperity. The teacher smiled and said, 'Oh! We have aeq2 goldsimple way of living and teaching .' And this isbuy flyff gold how she described it. 'If you don't know ask a question seek an answer and you'll find one. WHO will tell you of ffxi gilthe people WHY will give you a reason HOW will tell of the manner And WHEN of the duration. WHAT describes, well, what happened! WHERE describes destination.

She said that her pupilsLord of the Rings Online gold had gone all over the world with their questions and come back withLOTRO gold answers that helped them in better living.

They promised never to build a wall again Final Fantasy XI gilbetween the two lands and decided to share their knowledge.
