"American Freedom bears a major caveat: all choices ripple unintended consequences across our human fondue."
We would all do well to recall
the lessons of our past:
human institutions reflect
human nature. But
in all things
mankind has aspired
to do better,
to be more. More than
just a species
just a creation:
to deserve being.
Thus
while some of us will cling to
the now, will preserve the present
incomplete though it may be,
others must pursue the future,
embrace the unknown,
challenge prejudice,
and create the next new world:
a reflection not only of what we are
but in deed, what we can be.
