I Have a Dream

Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the famous "I Have a Dream" speech. I was reading it and this paragraph stood out to me.

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is 

bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient 

funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. 

So we've come to cash this check, a check that will give 

us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of 

justice.

People moan and groan about how this nation sucks and that our government is corrupt etc. etc. etc. Well... you're right, but are you just going to sit and stare at that letter declaring "insufficient funds" or are you going to get up and cash the "check" that we all have as Americans?

Think about it.

But don't stop there.
