Actually, on November 5th, 2008, I expect joy. Joy for a government that, while no means perfect, hears people, that the people have not been fooled one more time, and that the ballot boxes have not been stuffed, and a black man leads the descendants of masters and slaves, immigrants and natives, the meager and the mighty, judged by his character and not by the color of his skin. For a government that acts without corporate veto, that harkens to an America of many-ness and ferment. That allows the community organizer to reach across the continent to gather the energies of multitudes to take up the task ourselves. That you are cared for when you are sick, that you are cared for in order not to get sick.
The People's Herald watches Great Greed, regulating, not allowing the thoughtless collapse of dreams and the careless injection of poison. That war is not the business of America, that problems are solved before countries and peoples are destroyed, that children will learn in schools that can teach, that people can work at jobs that pay and grow the spirit, that religion belongs to people and not politicians, that the people take the lead to save the planet, that that we grow prosperous through the exercise of new ideas, that bees will live, and songs and all the other expressions take us to the world, and the world brings us thanks, and that courage means living in that world, sharing problems and promises and power.
On November 5th, 2008, I expect it will be possible to imagine all of these things, and more.
Which America do you expect on November 5th, 2008? What will you do to make it happen?
