Since when is it wrong …
- to expect those who prosper because of our nation’s economic policies to help those caught in the vicious cycle of poverty due to those same policies
- to want my tax dollars to go toward healthcare that will keep people well instead of toward a war that cannot be won and takes hundreds of lives every month
- to want to bring home soldiers rather than send them out to war (And don’t even think about telling me I don’t understand, because I see file after file EVERY DAY at the VA about the trauma and injury soldiers experience after coming home from war. It only makes me that more passionate about pacifism.)
- to believe that a world without nuclear weapons and the threat of nuclear holocaust is possible in our lifetime
- to believe that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunity, no matter gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation
- to believe that a woman has the right to choose what she does or does not do with her body
- to cling to hope instead of hate
There’s a lot of ignorant comments being made in multiple venues, and I’ll address those another day. Today, however, I am celebrating HOPE and CHANGE.
i always like your thoughts.
