You've Got Satisfaction. Lucky You.

When you’re so satisfied with your place in your country that you’re willing to throw your fellow citizens under the bus to stay there, then you really don’t deserve all that it has afforded you and all it can still be.

Since our founding, America has been great for some. 

It’s been a horrific nightmare for others. 

But we always aspired to be better. Right now we’re going backwards. 

If you include compassion in greatness, we’re not. We’re pricks. 

If you consider prideful ignorance a resource, then we are the richest nation on earth. 

If you value civility and fairness, we are rabid. 

And some of us, I assume, are good people. 

And some of us are heroes even though we were captured. 

And some of us are calling bullshit on our asterisk president and his asterisk enablers and his asterisk judges, policies, laws, and facts. 

And many of us will remember those who were complicit or held the coats of those who sullied this nation for their own financial or egoistic gains. 

And many of us will vote. #VOTE
