I’m not sure that “favourite” is the right word for this Post Secret postcard.
It certainly is the one that resonated with me in the most intense way.
Regardless of your politics, if something as terrible as this post card implies were to happen, it would be an earthshaking event.
I’m from Illinois and because of this I’ve had my eye on Barack Obama’s ascent perhaps a bit more than folks for whom he is not their state senator.
I’ve articulated this fear–that someone would be so fearful and hateful as to do great bodily harm to him. I can only imagine what it must be like for those that love him, knowing that it is a possibility not only now in the heat of the last few weeks of the campaign, but if he becomes our 44th president. The danger will remain. Sadly, there is a precedent for both candidates and sitting presidents to be assassinated. This postcard illustrates an ever-lingering fear that I hope never becomes a reality.
On a much lighter note: Here are a couple more Post Secrets that I thought were fun. Please visit the Post Secret website to see many more.
LOL. I can just imagine someone doing this.
When i first started to read the text of this Post Secret I thought it would end on a (justafiably) bitter note.
Instead she ended with a little laugh–completely unexpected–that’s why it’s fun.
