Dear George, believe in what they're doing. An adult might listen to these resolutions and laugh-as I did when one little boy said the UN should MAKE IBM give computers to everyone in the third world countries with free internet access and training. Someone asked him how you could MAKE them, and he said, well you tell them how important it is! Well, of COURSE!!! Why would they NOT do it then! Sometimes the speeches are so idealistic and unreal you cringe, but what hope they have! When we went to the football game a few weeks ago, and the band dedicated their performance to one of their members who had died in a car accident the week before, and they played with tears running down their cheeks, how could you not respond? Here's a silly thing. I was in New York City last year and needed to use a payphone--along with a LOT of people. As one came free, I stepped toward it at the same time as a young man with dread locks, chains, earrings, nosering, and a scary t-shirt. I stopped immediately, thinking, no way was I going to argue with him about who was first. And he turned to me, smiled, and said, "You go first."win this discussion. It's just the way we are, how we see things.
