Wow~! What a night! Whichever side won there was going to be a very big and very important first.

The year I was born interracial marriages were actually illegal in this country. My own relationship with my beautiful man would have been illegal. It is like a miracle to think that in my lifetime things have changed so much.

I heard a very wonderful introduction to Obama yesterday on the radio. It was from a student in Philadelphia, I believe. It went something like this:

Rosa Parks sat so MLK would walk

MLK walked so Obama could run

Obama ran so that we all could fly.

Immortal words. No matter what side you were on, this was a fantastic election between two very worthy men.

I wonder what is next? We might be in for a bit of a bumpy take off.

D'you know what's really been bothering me? MLK said his dream was of a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. And yet ALLLLL the freakin media coverage I see of Obama is about the color of his skin. I'd like to hear more about the content of his character, I don't care what color his skin is. I just feel like this presidency should be about more than race relations.

It was an Historic race from the beginning to the end. It makes me proud to know that my daughter can run for president if she wants to. There is no longer a glass ceiling. :)

Somehow, I think he was elected because of the content of his character. As far as I know, african-americans are still a minority race in this country. That means people of all kinds of races voted for him. I did and I'm white.

It is historic because he has opened up the political world to all of us, not just white men. We are all Americans.

I hope the media cools it too.

woops........had to do a edit......it was Lisa 16 who gave such a great quote from a Philly student. Thanks loved it

Bunnie

Gosh, Isn't it amazing how we can all see things in such a different perscpecitve.

I didn't think Obama or the media were playing the race card. IMO there were so many times he tried to down play it with positive statements about what he wanted to be remembered for. Sure he is proud of his mixed heritiage but I didn't see him using it his advantage.

Obama even quoted MLK with the 'content of his character and not the color of his skin' as you said.

Isn't it great we live in this country where we can share how we can see and listen to the 'same interviews' and come away with totally different opinions of what we hear.

Viva la difference. :)

Thanks for sharing. You know I was just thinking.......Maybe we see things differently becasue of the news stations or cable stations we listen to. :lol:

Would really be interesting to see if we listened to the same ones. ;)

I would love to see this thread continue in a fun and informative manner as I know we aren't to really be able to talk politics here.......

Maybe we can call it..............media interpretations instead. :lol:

Exactly. It doesn't matter to me if we have a black president, or a woman. I honestly feel this country is ready for either one. The problem with this election is, it was based on the color of his skin, and not his character. From all I have learned about the content of his character, we are in big trouble. Many people were afraid to vote against him, they were afraid of the uprising that may have occured had he not been elected, and well they should be. By the way, he isn't our first black president, he is bi-racial, remember his mother is white. We seem to be an angry nation, we need to get back to taking care of our country, no matter what color skin we have.

When our country is having troubling times, we should pull together to fix our ailing country, we shouldn't have to worry about who is going to attack who. I am worried about what will happen to this country now, I hope my worry will be unwarranted.

This is not directed any anyone. There are a few subjects on this forum that tend to bring out a lot of emotion. Politics is one of them. A good healthy discussion is great, but please keep in mind that words can offend. Choose wisely. ;):D ....carry on.

Character was the one of the main reasons for my choice of candidate.

I think both of the candidates have good characters. I voted on the issues. Especially health care. It's shameful that a country like ours lets people go without proper medical care. We can spend billions killing innocent children and people in Iraq, but we won't take care of our own citizens medical needs. That needs to change. Unfortunately, I think health care is already dead in the water due to the bailout of the economy.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.

      So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me!

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.

      IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point.
