Which side of history this Christmas?

Things stay the same.  Things change.
The Governor has an open house at the Capitol and a tree lighting.  But, not exactly the same this year.  Gone are the open house festivities with local authors, local vendors.  The tree lighting was waiting, the choir was nice, seeing the families was nice and especially the little kids perched on mom and dad's shoulders so they could see.  With 3 kids and only 2 parents, I was tempted to pick up one of the kids without shoulders to rest on, but resisted that temptation..

The droning of boring speeches.  Hmm.  And I wonder, earlier in the day I heard on cspan the historic moments when Palestine was voted in to the UN with non-voting member state status.  Wow!  And the U.S., again, on the wrong side of history.  Reminded me of Kyoto.

Are we on the wrong side of history?  And as Lindsay Graham said later on, well now that gives Palestine the right to file charges in the International Criminal Court.  Yes well don't the Palestinian people deserve to be free?
