Because I Want to Be Inspired

As this two year election cycle winds down, I've been watching more old movies (and by "old", I mean the mid-nineties. That information alone is depressing.) I've gravitated towards inspirational speeches of fake presidents and will include one such speech below, from An American President with Michael Douglas. This little snippet reminds me of all the reasons democracy is so difficult to achieve and how easy it is to be petty and angry in the face of adversity.
Over Christmas break (read: when I have time), I would love to gather up all the old West Wing episodes and watch 'em all in a row. They inspire me to work hard at my job, to think big, to speak up.
Because living in the real world is so scary right now, I'm doing the new-fangled version of what people did during the Depression years of the 1930s': going to the movies...
