I just now had one of those moments when the enormity of a thing kind of sinks in in a new way.

I was doing something online (can't remember what now), that caused me to suddenly realize that after Obama is in ofice, I won't constantly feel that I am being spied on by my government. I won't feel that my government sees me and people who think like me (those of us who believe in the Constitution and in democracy) as the enemy. What a beautiful feeling. Whoever it was who compared this election with the Berlin wall coming down... I agree with them.
