Why are so many people, black and white, dancing in the streets over the outcome of the election? Is it that they have been fooled by Obama's charisma, or is it because they have not been fooled by McCain's use of fear tactics?

I believe the latter to be true and that if given a fair chance Obama will make this a better world just as everyone before him did who preached brotherhood, justice for all and non-violence.

I also believe that, since fear tactics did not work to sway the majority (as it has in the past) this will be the end of their use, and what this means is that our democratic system will survive for the first time in history.

It is not the economy we should be worried about, but life itself. We cannot change the world for the better with guns, but by setting a good example. "Fear no man" is the best advice we have ever been given.
