i have a dream...a dream many times grander than that of martin luther king jr. i call it "the great reconciliation". it'll be the reconciliation of nations, races, classes, genders, generations, religions, and civilizations. forgiveness would be asked and given. understanding would be reached. compromise would be made. compensation would be paid. harmony would be the new order of the day. i'm also a cynical dreamer. for "the great reconciliation" to happen, i think one may have to wait till kingdom come.
