Open Thread: I Can Imagine a Nation

by: Dean Barker

Mon May 03, 2010 at 06:17:15 AM EDT


Granny D at The Poet's farm, 2004:  
We see the one less traveled by great nations. I can imagine the end of this century quite differently. I imagine the great Appalachian Mountains in all their beauty, the coal operators long gone and the people again making a thousand good uses of the bounty of nature. I can imagine great arrays of solar cells and all the newer energy technology, harvesting the energy we need here at home from the natural processes of nature. I can imagine a people who look to their children as the nation's greatest resource, and they nurture them with an imaginative and engaging education and a perfection of health care. I can imagine a nation where the freedom and creativity of the people bloom in a daily display of great joy and abundance.
This is an Open Thread.

The children (0.00 / 0)
It never ceases to amaze me the way the right treats our children in this country.  One would think they were just another resource to abuse with no thought for the future.  Just future fodder for the wealth creating machine.

We believe in prosperity & opportunity, strong communities, healthy families, great schools, investing in our future and leading the world by example. We are Democrats; we are the change you're looking for.
