Getting It Together

It has been a long time, hasn't it? I received a link from an email buddy that set me to thinking I would get back up on my little soapbox and start spouting my opinion again. I do have many but am probably just a little too procrastinating to actually do something about it.

Like I said earlier, I received an email from someone that got me to thinking about what is right with the world and what to do to make it better. We really do live in an amazing country. If for no other reason than the diversity of its people. In which other country is the the diversity of people as in this?

Now, this is not a "Kum-ba-ya" moment. I do believe there are minimums to live here. You should not be here it inflict pain on our people or our way of life. You should not be here trying to make this country like someplace else, there are clubs and organizations for just that purpose. You should have a working knowledge of American English. I don't care what language you use at home, in church or with your friends but a working knowledge is not too much to ask.

Any way, to get back on topic. This email contained a link to a video that has the same effect on me as the old "We Are the World" song created during the famine in Ethiopia. This one, however, hits a lot closer to home. While each of us are unique, we all strive for something. The values we hold near and dear to our hearts.

Watch the video then tell me you don't agree.
