My America

I was listening to the President speak last night and it got me to thinking....if I could remake America what would it be like. So here it goes....in my America we would never lose the trust and joy we are born with, hatred would not exist (except maybe for bugs). Our children would be able to grow up without fear.......the fear of being hungry or homeless, of being beaten and abused, in my America our children would grow up knowing kindness, love and warmth... they would know that they would be able to get any kind of education they desired and that the only limitations are the ones they place on themselves. In my America our elderly would be able to enjoy their later years without fear..... the fear of being abandoned, abused and tossed aside. In my America a man would be a man (no matter the color of his skin) and valued for what he brings to our lives.....his strength, courage and love and in my America God (no matter the name he was given) would be celebrated and allowed to bring all the joy that we could handle. We would all be able to come together as a community and support, uplift and encourage each other to bigger and better things.

You may think that this is all rather silly......but isn't better than the America that we have today? What would your America be like?

When we start valuing our youngest and oldest brothers and sisters and stop judging someone by the color of their skin or the way they look we all benefit.....so what do you say, can we make my America more than a dream? Be kind to one another and have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.

Hmmm... what an awesome, Utopian, and I think perfectly attainable view of what America could be. You've covered all the bases and your politics are fair and just (if just a tad idealistic). It's obvious you are a true patriot and you believe in what we CAN attain if we strive.

That being said, your best friend, (and love of your life) was called "Bug" by his playmates as a child, because of his love of said creatures. Now just think about it... if you could shrink Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and others of that ilk and mentality down to bug size, wouldn't they make a much more squash-worthy target?

Just some food for thought...

Love ya,
