The world I'm trying to save is very much worth saving. It's a world where people know their neighbors. It's a world where you can walk in to a store and be greeted with a friendly "hello." It's a world where little girls can play outside without fear of abduction. It's a world where little boys can join the Boy Scouts without fear of being molested. It's a world where you can leave your door open. Where you can board a plane without being strip searched. Where you can call for computer help and not be transferred to India. Where you dial 911 and get a clear-speaking, concerned white person instead of an attitude-flipping black woman. Where you don't have to wait for the Spanish version before getting to the English version. Where you don't have to watch interracial exposure gropings for your Superbowl halftime entertainment. Where the 10 Commandments can be displayed, if the judge wants to. Where you don't have to keep your windows rolled up as you roll through certain parts of town. Where your children don't have to listen to the foul lyrics of rap. Where grandparents are respected for their wisdom, where parents are obeyed, where children are good. Where men are men and women are women. Where the community comes to the aid of a good man who's down. Where the community frowns on a man who won't help himself. Where wife beaters get beaten. Where criminals go to jail instead of writing bestsellers.
Do I dream, jon?
