This Is What Makes It Special
As I write this, we’re just a few hours away from something truly remarkable. I really just wanted to make a quick note about it.
On Inauguration Day, 2001, an analyst chimed in for a minute that what he (or she) was seeing was truly remarkable. It was monumental. For all of the angry feelings and political fights that followed the 2000 presidential election, the U.S. had a peaceful transfer of power.
The same thing will happen again in a few hours.
This doesn’t have anything to do with a party or a political belief. It’s just the realization that throughout this country’s history, it’s remained stable by transferring the reigns of executive leadership to a new person – sometimes from a different party. This happens without riots and revolutions without demonstrations and disobedience. The system proscribed more than 200 years ago is carried out in a regular fashion.
Simple. But really something remarkable when you think about the past 200 years’ worth of world history.
