"We want to conjure, not only the un-leashing of Obama in 2nd term, (We need not approve, in order to note: Lincoln never mentioned slavery first term) but even more sizzly, the un-leashing of Michelle (FDR needed Eleanor's kick-butt.)
and most importantly - the un-leashing of each one of us as agents of critique, vision, dynamism.

We each have a magic mirror: Necessary Secular Critic holds up a mirror - "look, it sucks-in detail."...Trickster Within, with wave of hand, turns the mirror into a window - "Look how beautiful it could be!" And with another wave of the hand turns the window into a door - "Let's go!"

Our task, regardless of our customized degree of "disappointed" harumphitude (and remember we each have a portable harumphitude-composter, whereby to create rich nutrient for the culture of Reverent Ingenuity, to which we are dedicated.) is to cultivate, animate, magnetize, and spiral forth the most irresistibly all inclusive desirable story into the memosphere.

We gather to Inaugurate (from "augur, the diviner in each one of us, who would discern how best to cooperate with nature, and then "inaugurate") the best guiding story of reverent cahooting for the well-being and safety of all our relations... Voting is a magical act of dedicated participation, and we are always voting for reality, via our thoughts, words, metaphors, and $.

We understand the context of this election, necessary composting of dismay into dynamism; the experiment in democracy is on the line, Koch Brothers etc. ready to just buy this thing, Our task, in cahoots with Trickster, keeper of democracy, is to prevent that ("against all odds re the odds that Trickster likes," - so now is perfect)."
