I imagine a country...
- where any one is free to do what ever they want to, that does not infringe on the rights of others
- where personal religious beliefs or lack of belief has nothing to do with politics, other than to inform your personal values
- where difference of opinion is beneficial to discussion and finding a solution, rather than a reason to call people names
- where money is not the most important thing in life
- where believing war is the last possible option is one of the best ways to support the troops
- where being poor is not all your fault - nor all someone else's
- where our surplus food gets to those who do not have enough
- where we don't treat environmentalism as polar opposite to business
- where we have the freedom of speech, but have the respect and decency not to say some things
- where everyone has access to those things that can advance their quality of life and that of their children
- where we treat all people around the world with respect, decency, and patience; even if in some cases they may not show the same
- where we learn to cooperate with other nations of the world rather than always ensuring that we are #1
- where education is not treated as some terminal disease with no hope of a cure
- where all citizens are given the same rights to vote, elect their officials, and govern their local areas; and where businesses don't have unlimited means to only champion their cause
- where politicians believe again in doing things for the greater good, not for continued employment or for future talking fees
- where no one feels the need to refer to someone as Hitler
- where the wealthier members of society can see the greater benefit of social programs which assist those who are poorer
