A toast to our candidates from a glass half-full.

Let’s take a moment to say something good about society, for a change.

In all previous US presidential elections, every candidate with any chance at victory has been white and male; never black and never female. Now our society is finally breaking through these barriers. Currently, of the two top Democratic contenders we have one who is half-black, and the other who is half-female.

We’re making progress. Good for us.
