I HAVE A DREAM. AND I, START, HAVE NEVER HAD A DREAM.

It has been amazing to me that never in my life, never in my adult life have I had a dream. Now, I'm not talking about the nighttime type. Sure I have those. I mean the MLK type.

I feel like I've been in the grip of huge dreams my entire adult life, but I've never posessed them- THEY have POSSESSED ME.

Well, on Day #32 or so of the Hunger Strike, as I was lugging my 5o lbs of stuff the 50 or so blocks to the Capitol - bing, there it was - I HAVE A DREAM.

I HAVE A DREAM

I have a dream that -
  • Congress will cut $200B from defense and re-allocate it to PeaceBuilding internationally;
  • We will rise up to cut carbon emissions 80% by 2020 thereby saving the Glaciers and staving off the 39' sea level rise and displacement / drowning of 600 million people;
  • We will replace our value of things, and replace it with a valuing of people;
  • We will embrace the poor of the world and eliminate poverty by 2020;
  • We will heal the earth planing many millions of new trees and fully protecting existing forests - rain and otherwise;
  • We will stabilize world population at 8 billion or less through humane pre-emptive measures;
  • We will restore the world's fisheries;
  • We will aggressively de-charter or re-charter corporations so as to eliminate their murderious sociopathic destruction;
  • And so on.
