THE ROBING ROOM

I was sworn in as a citizen of the United States along with 336 other people and their supporters - around 500 in total. Hon. Douglas P. Woodlock presided. He arrived 45 minutes late, and offered no explanation or apology. What could have been more important than this ceremony that 336 people have worked so hard to obtain? What kind of message does this give to these people? And we had to treat him respectfully by standing when he entered and left. I am still fuming at the rudeness and humiliation that I felt, for myself and for all those good people that he treated with such arrogance.
