He completely dismissed what I said as if it were the dumbest thing he had heard in a long time. I don't understand how people can just totally be in denial about the realistic state of our wonderful country. I guess I've been thinking about it a lot because I was in Dallas and went to the site where JFK was killed and it was so sobering to replay the history of the U.S. from then to now in my head and see where we now stand. It made me nostalgic for a time in this country I've only read about and seen videos of because I truly do believe it was a better time, and I, as so many others, want back what has been lost and want so badly to look forward to today and the future with optimism about what we are now and in the future going to accomplish in this country as a united whole. Sorry for the ramble...this has just been on my mind the last several days.
