fishbowl wisdom, part 1

not long ago, on this very day, Martin Luther King delivered the "i have a dream" speech. decades later, Katrina was striking the US. today, have things really changed?

we have fought so many battles and yet discovered/created a slew of others to make things appear (actually be?) worse than ever.

when will be stop hatred?
when will we conquer disease and take care of our planet?
when are we going to wake up?

i guess i dream that we were not all so passive, so indifferent. it IS our problem.
