What hope is there for our country with a bunch of grumpy old cynics like some of you? Keriste on a krutch! Ever heard about putting your energy into something positive, something you'd like to have happen? Any chance you might experiment for one day, and say nothing negative or critical, for the whole day, and see how ya feel later on? Or, just keep expending your energy in being armchair critics making sure nobody gets it right, because how could they please you lot?!

Neil, it brought tears to my eyes, too. I loved seeing Ted surrounded by his sons and nieces and nephews at the end there, too.

I thought it was great they were showing such diversity AND that the people who were shown dancing, waving signs and all looked a lot like a bunch of folkies...i.e. comfortably dressed! I suppose one could argue they were dressed in rags due to the shrub's fucking up the economy for eight years, but where's the fun in that?!
