Lets start a national dialog. Not just with Liberals/Progressives/Democrats, but with everyone.
Ask everyone you can to answer the question: What kind of a world do you want?
Ask them to be brief, and write down all the answers you get. Collect them together and show them to the world somehow. Start a website, a zine, a newspaper, a tv or radio show, and use it to share all of the ideas you find. Or stand out on a corner and read them to passersby. Whatever, just get these people's ideas out there.
Don't judge! Don't edit! Just let people have a voice.
This is just a first step, but I think it's a necessary, healing step, that will lead to people thinking about the kind of world they want to live in. Feel free to rephrase the question if you wish. But make it an open-ended forward-thinking question. Another good possibility might be: What kind of world do you want for your children? Or: What do you wish for the future of the world?
This could even be a great Christmas/Hanukah/Solstice/Kwanza/New Year gift for your family and friends!
