But damage to people's lives who have lost their jobs for no reason of their own and because jobs are tied to your living in this country, people who have lost their jobs have lost their way of life. Suddenly, their life must be changed. And they deserve the liberty to feel in control of that. When enough said is enough, when people have gathered en masse in the streets, there has to be a reckoning. We must decide how to proceed as a culture. Nation. Any kind of organization. We are who we choose to be, and frankly I just don't see promise in the darkness. I yearn for a bold, bright future, not one of destruction and disaster-race. Instead, we can seek joy in the memories, and share what we keep in balance. Our foes have cursed us with no end in heartbreak and struggle. But that's okay. We can rebuild that part of ourselves, we just have to make it on faith. Do you believe in each other? I do.
