state what you are in favor of as a simple positive

it’s easy to be critical and to pick on the ideas of others

it’s always easier to attack than to build

but this is a barren road to fields where nothing grows.

we cannot productively define ourselves only by what we are against.

we must be for something.

we must participate and create something.

society, civilization, and self must be fostered

and so it behooves us to remember, especially in election years, that we need to keep claim on that which we desire and to retain and cultivate the ability to state as simple positives what we want for ourselves and for america.

watch the video.

i want this.

this is the america i wish to inhabit.

will it solve all our problems?

perhaps not.

but it’s a start…
