I Too Have A Dream

What will tomorrow bring? Where we have been heading may be clearly seen today, and hopefully we will continue to change for the better.

While nuclear annihilation with the Soviet Union has become a thing of the past, the ecology of this whole planet has reached a very critical state, and still the politicians in Washington pay so very little attention to it.

The war in Iraq was an Administrative blunder from the very beginning; and I should worry about Iran making a nuclear bomb in 6 or 7 years, when the now deposed Soviet Union had literally thousands of them in the recent past?

I dream of health care being made available to everyone who wants it, not just to those who can afford health insurance.

I dream that our educational system is once again the very best in the world, not near the bottom of the heap in the civilized world as it currently is.

I dream that no American goes without food and/or shelter; and I dream that everyone who wants a job will have one, because the old economic theories of Adam Smith and Karl Marx have been replaced by one which works so very much better.

I dream that there are no more recessions and/or depressions, and that inflation is no longer a real social concern.

And I dream that Workfare has replaced Welfare, and I dream that someone is no longer paid to do nothing with my hard earned money.

I dream that the many fears resulting from the hole in the Ozone Layer of the atmosphere will be no more, and that today’s current alarm about the dreaded Thermal Effect will become a thing of the past.

And I dream that there will be plentiful clean, clear water running everywhere on this planet, and that there will be no more smog coming from air inversions in our many cities.

I dream that much of this change will come about because fossil and nuclear fuels will no longer be our primary source of energy, and I dream that solar, wind, and thermal energy will be highly developed.

I dream that in the future very few people will have cause to get a divorce, and that no longer will more than one-third of this nation’s children grow up in a fractured family with only one parent

And I dream that abortion will no longer be the volatile issue that it is today, for the “morning after” pill will soon be extensively used for unwanted pregnancies.

There are transportation changes in my dreams as well, as most people will soon travel at over 200 mile per hour by Magnetic Trains.

I dream that political corruption will become a thing of the past, and I dream that being a politician will become a social responsibility for a change.

I dream that there will be strict enforcement of equal right for all races, for every age group, and for both sexes; and I dream that Elvis and all four Beatles will sing songs to us again, and they will sing this song with great joy.

Now most of us are very tired of waiting for all of this to happen here in America, even though it is all now both socially and scientifically possible.

However, it is likely to never happen without YOUR active participation and involvement in politics!

We, the Baby-boom generation, and our kids, and even some of our grandkids, we may all either continue to be controlled by the current crop of crooked politicians whom we continually vote for, or we may take this control from them and make our dreams come true!

Let’s begin to run this country OUR way, instead of continually being the victim of the all too typical “politician’s” way!
