"This land is our land, from sea to shining sea, and yet we have not been the wisest of caretakers for our home places, our Homeland, our communities. We need a patriotism that reweaves the frayed fabric of our national identity. We need a patriotism that heals our landscapes and communities, respects and upholds our inalienable rights, and sets us on a path of true justice, freedom, and sustainability"(vii)

Tahoe That would be the next step to not only a create national identity which serves the ones on top but the country itself 😯 6y

"The time will soon come when we will not be able to remember the horrors of September 11th without remembering also the unquestioning technological and economic optimism that ended on that day. This optimism rested in the proposition that we were living in a 'new world order' and a 'new economy' that would 'grow' on and on, bringing a prosperity of which every new increment would be 'unprecedented'"(1).

"I have always believed democracy is best practiced through its construction, not it's completion--a neverending project where the windows and doors remain open, a reminder to never close ourselves off to the sensory impulses of eyes and ears alert toward justice. Walls are torn down instead of erected...a home, in a constant state of renovation"(3).
