I Wanted a Nation Where People Loved One Another, Even Strangers

I wanted a nation in which our leaders never lied and hosted lively dinners with fact checkers who were elected office because of their adherence to the truth. If people got sick, there would be no annoying paper work. I wanted a nation that did not conjure suspicion about entire groups of people and did not assault or kill them. A nation where every one could look each other kindly in the eye and say, hello. It was time for me to climb back into my mother and try again to be born.
