Here I am:

"There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" Robert Kennedy.

Why not, indeed? I hate this damn defeatist mantra of "Not now", "Too much change", "Small increments", blah, blah, blah...

This mentality has been going on since the 60's. I am tired of waiting. I am growing old. As I told a Millennial last week: "I hope to live long enough to see real change." I have been waiting for almost 60 years.

Tick, tock...
