It is relatively easy to identify what things I find disagreeable and protest against. However, it is more important to find out what I stand for in this world. I think about this a great deal, and realize that what gets my juices going are the causes that give people choices that enable them to more fully enjoy the wonders of life. I yearn for justice for every person, and a fair opportunity to follow one’s dreams. I want every little girl and boy to have an excellent education, and enough to eat every day. I search for ways to support and reinforce the right to partake fully of the right to marry and raise children. I want gender equity, and the recognition of the wondrous gift that diversity offers. Add less bellicose ways to resolve personal and government conflicts and my palate will be satiated.
