Welcome to yoonamania where I put down the nonsense that pops up in my head from time to time. Please do not expect to make any sense out of my blatherings. It's called nonsense for a reason. Nor should you expect to enjoy any good writing. My English sucks moose ass. But I don't really care since I'm sure your Korean isn't any better. Please try to keep your expectations low and just chill like potatoes... or beets... or parsnips. Oh and yeah, don't take it seriously unless you think I think you must.

Yours truly, etc. yoonamaniac

I Have a Dream

By , on January 19, 2009

Mania


Today, Martin Luther King Jr Day this year, feels very different from others. Tomorrow America will welcome its very first black president into the office. I cry like a baby every single time I listen or read this famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr. Today it’s no different, but the tears come down with much more hope. No, not because it was our president elect’s campaign slogan or he wrote a book about it or do I expect any substantial change in American politics or economy any time soon. It’s because the Americans who are reconciled with the fundamental human decency, that decency the founding fathers of this country proclaimed as the foundation for establishing this great nation, the belief that all men are created equal, are now majority.

Yes, I am hopeful. Now we are getting somewhere. Maybe, just maybe, we will learn to love and cherish our fellow inhabitants of this world before we destroy it completely. I have a dream.

    I agree with you about this being a special Martin Luther King day. I know that our President-elect has a lot of work to do, but for the first time in a long time, I have hope for the future of the U.S.
    Congrats on your citizenship Yoon!
