Great post, Kelly. I am glad that you liked the artwork so much. What kind of salad are we? A fruit salad? Maybe something else that is sweet and sour. Cultural mosaic is a great term, too.

We live in the best country, it is the people who make it good, not only the leader….

Kelly, I relate a lot to what you say with respect to being “black” in America, I am not black, but … well you know what I am and in my case people can be racist right in my face and not even know I am a target for their “hate”…(I think you know what I mean) … I guess what I am trying to say is that this is a wonderful country and I think our differences are what makes us such a wonderful people, I am an American and have never been prouder than when our 44th president took his oath of office. Let the healing “settle in” and let it be known that this is the greatest Nation on Earth, nowhere is it possible to be so free, so accepting of freedom and so unbelievably progressive in our pursuit of freedom, I kind of like the salad, screw the melting pot!

So, were your ankles in the air for the 1st inauguration or the 2nd? ‘coz I don’t think the 1st one counts.

And please don’t tell me you had the “taste” thought while “compromised”.
