The phrase will forever be burned in my memory. It actually fits for a lot things. Our powerful country will allow other smaller countries to slip through the cracks. It takes a very strong person to be powerful and to do the right thing. Most people will keep feeding the machine for their own personal gain at the expense of others. It's human nature. Where's Dag Hammarskjold when we need him. What is great about our country is not our money or our power, it's our Constitution. We take it for granted everyday. We confuse superficial happiness to real freedom. I remember being in Cuba for a film festival. The people I met in the streets had nothing, yet they were happy to be alive. (They'd be happier if they could own their own homes and businesses though). When I came back to L.A., the people who have everything were bitching about everything. They weren't very happy. I believe our Constitution is the most beautiful, simple, common sense creation humanity has ever produced. We abuse it. Our country has the capability of leading our distressed world into a new global renaissance. We have to stop being greedy. There's room for everybody. We're all part of the same human spirit, nobody has more worth than another.
