Every American could have healthcare. Every American child could have a world-class education. Every American could have the education or training to give them a fair chance at an abundant life. Every worker in America could have a fair wage. We could...but we choose not to.

Everyone in the world could have all that. At least a decent baseline to have a crack would be good. Imagine the creativity that would be unleashed towards solving our problems...

No Marianne, "THEY" choose. We tell them what we want, they smile and nod. And then they do exactly what they've been doing for ages - whatever the hell they want.

Choosing the next right thing, the next loving thing, is all we are required to do. Why are so many afraid to?

And so you live lives of high anxiety - indeed the Americans above all over races demonstrate the truth of Dickens, i.e. democracy permits you to choose your own oppressor. Nevertheless, He is risen. Happy Easter.
