I Have a Dream
Today is Martin Luther King’s birthday. Monday, we as a nation, observe and honor this great man who fought so hard for equal rights. To honor him I have put together a list of new dreams that if alive, he might also hope for.
I have a dream that equal, quality health care will be available for all Americans, not just for those who can afford it, work the system or understand it. Mental health must be included.
I want all homeless men, women and children be given the same attention, care and opportunities that You Tube sensation Ted Williams (the man with the golden voice) has gotten. According to HATAS, there is an estimated 1800 homeless children in Albany alone.
I have a dream that gun control be changed so that kids can’t kill themselves while playing with an Uzi at a Gun Fair, that mentally ill people can’t go on a shooting spree at a strip mall, and drug dealers don’t have machine guns. People much smarter than me, need to make this work and still maintain our constitutional right to carry guns.
I wish all children had a Mother and Father to take care of them, love them and promote good health and education. Those are the seeds to a better life. Be better parents. Seventy two percent of black children are born to unwed mothers. As a society, we need to work to change that. Children need both parents.
My dreams include quality, affordable, available education for all children. Parents need to be on board. Educators and schools cannot do this by themselves, parents and communities must be involved and supportive.
I have a dream that cigarette smoking be outlawed forever. It kills people and raises health care costs for everyone!
I continue to dream for racism and ignorance to be erased, including race, gender, sexual orientation, and mental and physical illness. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
We can do better. Our priorities need to be changed and we need to work together. I have a dream today. Please join me in honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
