Pride

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed.

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read.

You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride.

You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.

We have seen the future, and the future is ours.

~ Cesar Chavez

How do I know that there is humor in the universe — maybe at the core of the universe? Last Friday, I went to the ISU Pride Rally at the Free Speech Zone. Afterward, we had lunch at The Hub. The student who waited on me was named "Ally." Then, the next day, one of the teams Elizabeth played in softball was Fort Dodge Pride.

Okay, that last one isn't really that revealing about the nature of the universe. They play that team almost every weekend.
