The message is clear... Life in this world can be wonderful and misserable sometimes; but what ever the situation is, you need to remember that life is a gift. Sometimes I think we are in heaven and that is why we are surrounded by everything we need to survived, (eg) Sun, Water, Land, plants and animals. In addition we are gifted as humans, we have the ability to learn and teach each others new things everyday. We also have the abilities to discourage each others in order to make our selfs feel better than others. Look around you right now and you will see that everthing surrounding you are man made by different types of people from different places. In some places some of these same people that made those things doesn't even have a fraction of a fraction of what you have. These people can be living in a world of wonderfulness or living in a world full of people that think they are better than them because they have a lot of man made things. Regardless of the situation, remember that everyone has one thing in common "the gift of life" therefore we are all still equal in many many ways. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND REMEMBER THEY HAVE TO PEE AND Poop JUST LIKE YOU AND ME. As long as we keep thiese things in mind Our President will succeed with no problems. Can we all just try with a open mind?

"In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today."
