When you look hard enough, America CAN rock. Sometimes.
Look.
At all that was achieved.
I still can't believe that people were discussing whether or not to 'give' black people the vote.
Or whether rhe Government had a right to be involved in the sexual lives of it's citizens.
And loosing people, GOOD people for something they believed in.
And touching the face of the moon.
You know, it's obvious, but I hadn't fully realised that Kennedy didn't even live to see a rocket take off.
Together, that nation of Three Hundred Million Plus, really, can lift the Earth, and the lives of all of it's inhabitants, beyond ourselves.
When did they stop dreaming the REAL dreams?
How is it they can't handle healtn care?!
How is it, that they feel it's O.K. what Israel is doing to the Palestinians?
How is it that they would allow issues of God, to divide them into those that have, and those that have not?
Between those that are Gay and those that are straight?
From those immigrants who are legal, from those who are not?
What happened here? How did selfishness set in?
And yet...there they are.
I care about them, and I love them. They have eroded so much goodwill amongst others towards them, I wonder if they'll survive the advance of the Christian Right?
The retaliation of half a world baring the brunt of their policies?
They held the moon. They really did.
