I have a dream...

I have a dream, much like MLK in his dream, when he spoke of his four children when he said he hoped "they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

In my dream, this is true of all people, regardless of their relationship to me...But my dreams do not reflect reality...

In reality, the content of one's character is mocked by a society that is incapable of thinking for itself, and parrots opinions of talking heads who do the "thinking" for them...

There was a time in my life when the news simply gave you the facts and it was up to you to decide how you felt...Now, you are given opinions that you're led to believe is "news", while they tell you how to feel, but if you've never been given news as I once was, how are you expected to make up your own mind, let alone be capable of judging a man by his character?...

Politicians from the President on down all like to say, "God bless the United States of America"...

I say, God bless the men and women of earth, and give them the ability to think for themselves, because if they cannot, the United States of America and the earth are fucked...

The biggest threat to mankind, is men/women who cannot think for themselves...

The toon below is nothing more than an example, yet it reflects the thinking of a parrot...

These days I have little faith in mankind, and I'm not what you would call an optimist anymore, but I remember a time when I did...
