re: #639 Csarneson

What I want? I want people of every skin color to be treated fairly, equally, and respectfully. In the short term I want body cameras on every cop with a gun to protect both sides. I want accountability on both sides when mistakes are made. I want this period of hyper-partisanship where we can’t exchange ideas without instant name-calling to end. I want a progressive tax code that leaves unlimited opportunity for success but puts a floor that people can not fall below. I want everyone in our country to have access to healthcare before they need it. I want a country where people are encouraged to take risks. I want a country where if people do take risks and fail they don’t die. AND I want to get all of these things through civil discourse without hostage-taking.

I don’t want much.

All worth wanting, but the point many of us have been trying to make is that something has to spark the fire for change, and it often has to be something loud, and maybe messy and not confined to “civil discourse.”

And I want a pony.
