I believe

I believe in America and I believe in who we could be

but I don't believe in who we are.

It's so easy to give up and let them reign.

I am.

I'm scared to stand up or say things and I haven't before,

and I won't.

Maybe that makes me a coward

but I don't care.

There's risking everything and there's risking everything.

You know what scares me?

I agree with the food pyramid.

The stupid pyramid that's stupid because they say it's right and they're stupid

worse than stupid.

Protein is at the top with vegetables

grain is at the very, very bottom.

Does that make me like them?

No.

But.

What if I can see their side of things?

What if I value the ELA teacher everyone hates just because he provides a RESPECTFUL right-leaning perspective?

My life is about perspective

I value his teaching style

and yet...

everyone else hates him for it.

Why?

I get the Republican side of things

I align with the Democrats more

so what?

I understand them.

So what?
