Clinton’s Inauguration
It is impressive! Inauguration Day, that is. It is a day that should be set aside, once every four years, as a national holiday so that everyone in the United States could celebrate that which so few other nations in the world experience: peaceful change of government.
It is a lesson to be reinforced, relearned and not taken for granted by all those who have been born and raised in the U.S.; it is a lesson to be taught and not taken for granted by all those who have emigrated to the U.S. from countless countries, many of which have change of government only by the barrel of a gun.
