What If?
What if our best defense was a good offense: quality education, health care, housing, pollution-free environments, and living wages for everyone? What if keeping track of how many children are immunized, the literacy rate, the percentage of drug users, and so on was as important and monitored as well as the ups and downs of the stock market? What if the economic pie was distributed equitably, in the U.S. and worldwide? What if problems were solved via negotiations, reconciliation, and collaboration rather than by violence, manipulation or coercion ? What if every child felt loved, respected, nurtured, and protected? What if teachers, fire fighters, care givers, and food providers were really valued for their contributions to their communities and to our country? What if cooperation and collaboration were as important as competition? What if the arts were as valued as sports? What if...? What if...? |
