Things I Would Like to See...

...I would like to see a day where there's more peace than war. While I'm not naive enough to think we would ever achieve total world peace, I'd like to see us at least make a noble attempt...

...I would like to see a day of equal opportunity, not necessarily equality. While we are all created equal, some people do a better job than others in being stewards of what they are given, and should be adequately rewarded...

...I would like to see a day when intelligent, thoughtful discussion replaces angry, contentious debate...

...I would like to see a day when we honor our veterans for the fact that they served, even if we disagree with the politics of the time in which they served...

...I would like to see a day when all presidential candidates have equal access and exposure for their platforms and Americans' perception isn't shaped by certain high profile biased media outlets...

...I would like to see a day when anybody who's willing to put for the effort can find gainful employment...

...I would like to see a day when we respect diversity...

...I would like to see a day when politicians don't care who's in your bed and why...

...I would like to see a day when we can look back at all of this and laugh...

respectfully submitted,

If we are robots that one might be possible. Far too many times I let my emotions get the better of me.
