Two Dads are Better than None

It has been a historical week in America. We have elected our first half black half white (read African-American I guess) president. It seems that both black and white America can embrace a guy that, well, is equal parts white and black. It will certainly mean a lot for race relations.

Obama was wise to pronounce himself the American mutt when he referenced selecting the nation's new First Pet. Those evolutionists know that as far as genetics and evolution is concerned, mutts are healthier and live longer. Simply evolution tells you that nature takes the best (and sometimes the worst) of a race's gene and throws it into the melting pot. I consider myself a mutt and think that blending the races makes for a better, more interesting world.

It is interesting to think, however, that this new blood will dominate as the nation's image. People all over the globe may see America in a whole new light. Maybe Americans are thinking that desperate times call for desperate measures? Financially the economy is taking a rest. She is tired of pumping out all that capital to feed so many countries. We are unsure of the future and we are also wise enough to say that we needed change. Especially after this election, the idea of the American family has changed for the better. We are a nation of mixed people that have all come together to create stories of our own future.

In fact, the most American of all stories told is the one that starts off about family coming to America somehow, in search of opportunity. You are seeing the results of how the very definition of the American "family" is changing.
