8/29/08
Note to readers: This was the day I started posting on various news websites. From this date to 9/25/08 when I officially inaugurated my own blog (the 10,000,001th in the blogosphere), I am appending the posts that I had made on these websites.
Ladies and Gentlemen: That was an amazing convention! Every day, I was treated to some amazing, moving, honest speeches, detailing a vision of the America I want to live in. First it was Michelle Obama, then Hillary Clinton, then Bill Clinton, then Joe Biden and finally Barack Obama. I have not heard a better set of speakers at any one event in my life, and I make a living going to conventions and conferences, albeit mostly scientific ones! I am a news junkie , however, and I have seen many a political speech in my time, but I am now more hopeful than ever that there is light at the end of the tunnel, for me as a citizen, and for America as a whole, to end its increasing isolation and again take its place in this interconnected new world.
