On Unity-




"For too long we've been told about 'us' and 'them.'
Each and every election we see a new slate of arguments
and ads telling us that 'they' are the problem, not 'us.'
But there can be no 'them' in America. There's only us."

Inaugural Address of United States President



I do believe the person who spoke these words meant them. I believe they are important words.

I believe they are more needed today than at the time they were spoken.



What are your thoughts?

2. Thanks- I
appreciate your reply.
:hi:

It troubles me, that our inter-connectedness is seen as something not only to be mocked- but as something to work against.

We can't keep going on like this.

3. no, we cannot
so we either live together -- or perish together

And we've known about this for years. If you have a chance, watch the movie "Mind Walk", which was made in 1990, and you'll see what I mean.
