A new age has dawned

Well, well. stirring stuff, Obama won the presidency. By the time it came along most of us weren't all that surprised, but that didn't lessen it's importance, both in the needed sense and symbolically. So what twisted poetry then, that on the same eve of that golden new age, while a 106 year old black women can touch a screen to beam her preference into the democratic process, California should approve Proposition 8, anulling its support for gay marriages and possibly thus annulling those marriages that it has actually already approved. Shame on you, new age.
