Sharing a dream

Dinah Boyd has an impassioned post here, her reaction to the Obama acceptance speech.

She closes with this...

I have a dream... that one day the people of this nation will open their eyes and see their neighbors as brethren once again and work to make sure that they too are happy and prosperous.

I have a dream... that one day the people of this nation will let go of their selfish desires and work towards the collective good, caring for those who are in need, and helping other achieve to their fullest potential.

I have a dream... that one day the pursuits of knowledge, innovation, and happiness will be the gross national product we seek to maximize.

I have a dream... that come this November, we put a halt to being an arrogant, controlling, greedy, and aggressive global actor, that we ask our allies for forgiveness, seek humility, and work to right the wrongs that we have inflicted on so many peoples for so many years.

Let communities rise... Let people come together as one... Connected at last.
