Winning

For far too much of United States' history, Politicians and their supporters have sought to pit red against blue, white against black, and all against yellow and brown, in a most cynical and successful effort to make GREEN.
(not to mention what immigrants did to the natives)

It is time for a change. It is time for a new definition of "winning".

I submit that the new definition come from a line I heard Bruce Springsteen use many times when he was making a plea for contributions to the local food bank during his concerts...

"Remember, nobody wins unless everybody wins".

I thought it quaint and naive when I first heard it 25 years ago. Now that I am older, I understand.

Can it be done? No.

But there is no shame in trying. Indeed the only shame is in not trying.
