(1,731 posts)America, however, isn't broken. Sure, her laws and systems are stacked and packed with our original sins. But her people.... we can never be broken. We are each making a declaration of what it means to be American. Since we are so many, it's a bit messy. Okay, actually, it's pretty ugly. All of America's growing pains have been ugly. Colonization, Independence, Civil War, Ending Reconstruction, Women's Rights, Desegregation, Civil Rights, Gay Rights.....whatever the heck THIS is.....is an ugly process. We're going to emerge as a better nation after this period of growth. We have to believe that.
I really admire your signature line. Love is the only way to beat hate.

Cheers, friend. I pray that your weekend gets better than it has started.
