Unfocused: So Moved - Democracy is Coming to the USA -- From the NY Times, So Moved - And the Pursuit of Happiness Blog. From Thomas More through de Tocqueville...

"If one aked me to what do I think one must principally attribute the singular prosperity and growing force of this people, I would answer that it is to the superiority of its women." - Alexis de Tocqueville

...to a New England town hall and a Bronx student council meeting, Democracy - coming to the USA.

"It's coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A."
- Leonard Cohen
