SOCIAL Reform

It's not that I want to make a difference in the world to say that I made one (although that part would be cool), it's that I want the world to not need to change. I want the people on the planet to be so selfless that there is no want for a difference to be made. I do not believe that this selflessness will be.

Over the course of one year, more than a million children will find themselves homeless in America. The causes are widespread: from illness without insurance to unaffordable housing. I do not believe that the people in America can band together to solve this problem absent governmental intervention. I do not believe that we will be so selfless.

But I believe we can be.
Not on our own, however.
