"...we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals"

This is the moment Barack Obama really hit the spot for me in his speech this afternoon. It gives me hope that America will start to live up to the ideals that its founding fathers promised. President Obama's speech was inspirational and will have encouraged many people around the World. Now we have to see if the political establishment and big business will allow him to live up to the promise.

I realise that this is my first post for over five months, to be honest I haven't really felt like publishing my thoughts for the last few months, largely due to a lack of anything positive to say.
But, after a shaky start, the new year has given me a brighter outlook and hopefully I will manage to add to this blog a bit more often.
