We Americans are a religious people unmoved by our religion to love others as much as ourselves. We are a wealthy people too stingy to use our wealth’s power to help others escape poverty. We live in a union of states that we call a nation because we are ignorant of our history. We have worldwide military and economic power and are hated and laughed at by foreigners worldwide. We have no idea where our country is going but we send our diplomats worldwide to advise countries where they should go. We live in a country hundreds of times larger and more powerful than the country who gave us our language, England, but we do not have any of the courage the English once showed by realizing throughout the globe a bold vision for humanity. We want only to make enough money to live independently of our neighbors even though it is impossible in today's world to live independently of others. Our lives come down to working hard to make ourselves secure in an economy that is not secure because our jobs are local and the economy is global. We are deathly afraid to jump up together and demand that our politicians at last clap their souls’ wings, if they have souls, and lead us forward to the new global world that our religion, our wealth, our military and economic power demand. No, no, no. We can not just sit around and spend our lives in dead-end coffee houses worshiping our picayune successes while we drink over-priced lattes. Our political system is the most successful and most revolutionary system ever invented for the good of humanity. We have to use it to benefit all of humanity and not just ourselves. During 169 years of our history as a union of states, we admitted 37 new states and we must continue to admit as many states in the world that wish to become new states in our union.

46, and a lesbian friend 22. It is full of well-written dialogues between the five

from the start and it is impossible not to read it as quickly as possible (it
can be read in less than three hours} to an ending that is totally unexpected
and explosive. A complex drama that moves with its own momentum towards
one liberating ending to all its beginnings.
