The Simple Answer...

Forget making the world "safe for democracy" and "terrorist free". Forget your petty squables and religious differences. Forget the money and the power. The world would do well to wake up each and every day to this single statement...

"If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
-JFK

No matter where you go, who your leader is, or what religion you pretend to follow or not follow, this is one thing we should all be able to agree on.

Parents: 2 - Vala: 0

I fail, they take. I pay out the ass, I get nothing. They demand perfection yet would give nothing if I achieved it. Reason does not move them and my word is as worthless as a fart in a hurricane to them. Their faith in me is shattered. I want to scream at the injustice of it all but I know I'd only be told that I was acting childishly silly and that I should be quiet and live with it. And in a sense it's true. These things matter so little when you consider what other people have to deal with...what the world has to deal with...but I am who I am and this is my life and this matters to me. Damn the score!
