I am confident about the future, because I think that we are approaching a point where enough people at the grass-roots level are recognizing that no one in Washington is going to change "the system" and save us. It is what we do. It is how we conduct our daily lives. "Democracy" isn't something that is provided by people in the state capital or Washington, DC. It's how we live our lives. I have great faith in people, though very little in "government."

We are at a crossroads in history. If we believe that Martin Luther King, RFK, and others told the truth as a result of their clear vision, we take one path; if we believe George W. Bush and Joe Liberman, we take another path. I know that some people are confused, and many more wish that we were not at this crossroads. But we are, and we are have facing some very significant choices in what direction we venture out into.

As long as we decide, rather than hoping that people in Washington will lead us, we will take the right path.
