This country has come a long way - but every time it has moved forward it was not because of some politician in Washington doing something legislatively, it was because *the people demanded* that such an action would take place. Throughout our history every single time the politicians have told the people that something could not be done, it has ended up happening anyway because as you note, "our ideas, our dreams and our efforts" will "if we work together...make the world better."

I am younger than you, but even I can see not even being of the age of 30, that within my lifetime, the good hopes of many people have come true
