46. How much better would this country have been with all the workers' voices heard?

How much better, with minorities involved, to have a more just and equal society years ago? How many wars could have been avoided, environment kept for future generations, minds educated and moving together as one? The losses have been incalculable.

We have a lot of ground to cover to have America live up the dreams of the Kennedys, Martin Luther King and so many others who wanted the best for all of us. This election will only be the start of a new era.

Am I too naive, too idealistic?

I don't know. But when I have seen all those young faces of every kind at the Obama rallies, I feel that our future is in very good hands. We need them to show up now, as they are and for community and state election from now on. To never stop being involved, to make their views known and their voices heard. We need them.

These laws can be changes, society and government can be changed. I really do believe that.
