You don't have to try to beat Buz to it, Taz. I'm sure he'll be here soon to remind us how much progress still needs to be made.
On another thread, Buz suggested that a lot of people like himself might leave the country, so there could be some icing on the cake for the rest of you.
Congratulations on your first political leader who's identified as being from a racial minority.
We beat you to it by 160 years, of course.

what of the bigotry against us atheists perpetrated by the religious zealots?
Cheer up. You non-believing Americans just got included as part of a diverse America in your new president's inaugural speech. You now have official recogniction.
As for separation of religion and the state in the rest of the ceremony.....no chance.
