Deval Patrick's Massachusetts

OK.... I have to admit. I was one of those silly people that believed that the day Mr. Patrick took office the streets of Massachusetts would magically change overnight.

I thought:

• Black families would move to the state the very next day.
• Boston would intergrate and mix ... No longer the white's in the north and everyone else in the south
• Universal Health care would be magically implemented
• Gay Marriage would be truly be a gay affair
• THE BIG DIG would not cause any more problems
• Massachusetts would become the friendiest state in the Union

The only thing that changed is that Deval Patrick became the first black governor of Mass. I guess that is pretty magical.
