I Had A Dream......

I've been told I'm an idealistic dreamer, that I have my head in the clouds so much I can't concentrate on what I'm doing. Its true...I do. I worry about things I have no control over....things that are bigger than me. All true. I clash with many simply because I see things differently and sometimes choose to say something about it....often its not what they want to hear. I'm poor and have little to my name....makes me a loser in the eyes of many. I've been called a lazy underachiever by people who never fail to push the "Easy" button. I would like to live in a country in which individuals enjoy equitable treatment under reasonable laws. Unfortunately, that country doesn't exist. Never has. I think it was supposed to be this one....I believe our framers really tried the best they could given the circumstances of the times to create just that. Thats not what we now have. We now have special protections for one group over another, based on some special circumstance or another...usually ethnicity or gender. Let me make myself clear.....I am not responsible for paying for things that I did not do that did not happen to you. Period. End of story. If you think that makes me an angry, racist single white man, then so be it. I did not enslave your ancestors. I did not overrun this country and steal it from the red man. It was here when I got here. If things keep going the way they are, we may just get the cradle to grave security that everybody seems to want so badly. I'm not sure we're going to like it quite as much as we think.
