The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

Dream the possibilities

“Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high.  There’s a land that I dreamed of once in a lullaby.  Somewhere over the rainbow.  Skies are blue.  And the dreams that we dared to dream really do come true.  Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.  Where troubles melt like lemon-drops, way above the chim-i-ney tops, that’s where you’ll find me.  Somewhere over the rainbow.  Blue birds fly.  Birds fly over the rainbow, so why then oh why can’t I?”  (lyrics “Over the Rainbow”).
