We are the United State of America, aren't we?

It can't be the United States of Petroleum Interests, can it? Is this what I want to be associated with? Is this what I want the land of my fathers to be?

What's happened to compassion, a sense of service, sharing?

We will rebuild this country and the values that matter but I guess we're going to have to do it -- as my partner says -- a block at a time! How sad!

Kansas City is a bit of light in this dark room. A tradition of giving and a sense of public spaces and their value!
