A Vague Dream

I had one of those return dream scenarios the other night. I'm not sure if everyone has those. I wish I knew more about how we collectively dream. Anyways I returned to a setting I know I've dreamed about before. Some nondescript location marked only by highways and buildings. The location not being key only that it was familiar. And it was kind of like a mirror dream. A vision of perhaps a path not taken. Kind of a dream of what it would be like if I was a normal gent in this region. You know that middle of the road existence that most people choose. A path where we trade potential for the satisfactory. Anyways I was at one of those moderate to large churches doing the whole young singles thing. Which might I note in real life most of these kind of suck. I mean the whole point of most of these is to meet a potential spouse. But if you do start dating someone then you become ostracized from the group. Group dynamics can be the best and worst of things. Well it seemed that I was a bit more lucky in my dream than in real life when it comes to the romance department. There was a young woman who I think was from my past and shall remain nameless in this blog. Anyways we just went back to her apartment after church and chilled the Sunday afternoon away. And in some ways this was blissful. I think it's not that I most long for sex...which I've never had...I think that I just long for companionship of a like minded soul. And that was really the extent of the dream...

Speaking of dreams... My conscious dream is that we as a country will come together and address the fact that Middle Class Americans are becoming an endangered species. This country has been founded on the hard work of the middle class. But the previous generation has gotten greedy. And by living towards excess others in this country have been screwed. And these people have much less opportunity in a land where their should be an equity of opportunity. And those who have should not be competing with their neighbors and looking to move up zip codes but instead should love their neighbors. I mean the one of the ten commandments that Jesus points out is to love your neighbor. And we in America are quick to point to certain issues but have lost this vital premise. The best ways that we can help Americans is to improve education standards in low income areas and to provide medical insurance for all of our citizens. Only one candidate is addressing this issue, Obama. Here's the thing...Education and Healthcare should be moral issues. Poverty is a moral issue. Why can't we as Americans see this and actually do something about it, even if it does affect us financially? We don't need half the shit we got. And Christian nation my ass... Real Christians would make the impoverished a primary objective. But instead the poor are forgotten as the rich get richer. This is an injustice we can actually do something about. First let's elect the only decent candidate (OBAMA). Next lets get out and start loving people.
