America is the in throes of a revolution that began last Saturday and is expected to end on November 3 -- with the Presidential Elections: Millions of early voters -- Democrats and Republicans -- are casting ballots for a future that will bring their change. One that may recycle its ransacked “greatness” to a hopefulness to which they can pledge allegiance.
Many people we spoke to over the past weekend, offered short, spare explanations for why they were lining up: first they are exhausted. From the force of an oppression unseen and/or insane. Not enough money, failing health. And in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “Sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
