A real "what if" moment. What if we followed our best instincts instead of our worst, what if we made a leap of faith and eschewed scepticism, what if we abandoned sterotypes and gave people a chance. What if we were the "visitor" how would we want to be percieved and treated. What if instead of calling ourselves Americans we remembered we all descendants of immigrants. <BR/> <BR/>This will not make a big splash, nor get the same acclaim as a Michael Moore movie or have the sobering impact of "An Inconvenient Truth" nevertheless, it makes a quiet and necessary point during this darkest period in our national history. However, like many minority opinions it appeals to the "choir" and not the congregation at large. Let's hope we are turning a corner in our thinking and we will go back to being a country of immigrants who succeed in making a better world because of our differences.<BR/> <BR/>Regards, <BR/>Marie Teehan<BR/>Bryn Mawr, PennsylvaniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
