Our Capacity To Do Good

I got one of those eMail's from "ONE.ORG" today... I signed the petition, of course because it was easy. There was an option where you could write a personal message to George W. Bush. Within the context of this agenda I really had only one thing to say:

"America's legacy remains that our citizenry have risen beyond ability to do what is humane and good, while our government has prevented the good people of this nation from achieving their ambition, in favor of their own personal fortune. We have such shameful representation, historically proven to be the downfall other great empires and yet remains a specter on the horizon of this great experiment. We have the ability and desire to do good in this world. What confounded thought would stand in the way of this?"

I don't think that he'll understand the words, but maybe someone will "dumb it down," for him.

What do you think about our capacity to do good in this great nation of ours?
