SUNDAY MORNING SERMON: SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

• THEY DON'T FIGHT WARS. THEY TALK IT OVER AND COMPROMISE AND NEGOTIATE THEIR DIFFERENCES. THEY UNDERSTAND WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. THEY REALIZE THERE IS NOWHERE TO RUN. THEY DON'T KILL GOOKS, OR SLANT EYES, OR TOWEL HEADS. THEY SEE EVERYONE AS FATHERS, MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, SONS, UNCLES. THEY REALIZE WHEN YOU KILL THEM, YOU KILL US. 
• AT THEY END OF THE RAINBOW, THEY SAY THERE IS UNLIMITED GOLD. THAT WOULD MAKE ALL OF US EQUALLY RICH. WE ARE ALL FINANCIALLY EQUAL. OH WHAT A DELIGHTFUL MESS THAT WOULD BE. ME AND BILL GATES AND WARRREN BUFFETT SITTING DOWN TO DISCUSS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.
• JUST OVER THE RAINBOW, POLITICIANS ARE ELECTED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE, AND THEMSELVES AND THEIR RICH FRIENDS. THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. (AND BY THE WAY, THEY USE PAPER BALLETS. SOMETHING YOU CAN LOOK AT, HOLD, AND COUNT).
• THERE ARE STILL DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS; LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES; MEN AND WOMEN(ALTHOUGH THAT LINE IS GETTING PRETTY BLURRED). EVEN OVER THE RAINBOW, YOU HAVE OPPOSITES. DIVERSITY IS GOOD. WE WOULDN'T ALL WANT TO BE THE SAME. WHAT THE HELL FUN WOULD THAT BE?
• AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW, THEY CARE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. HEALTHCARE IS PROVIDED EQUALLY TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF STATUS OR ABILITY TO PAY. IT IS NOT A COMMODITY TO BE SOLD TO ONLY THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY. SHELTER IS PROVIDED TO EVERYONE. FOOD IS PLENTIFUL. THEY GROW EDIBLE FOOD, NOT INDUSTRIAL CROPS. AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW, IT IS NOT EACH MAN AND WOMAN FOR HIM OR HER SELF. COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD. PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THEY NEED ONE ANOTHER TO PROSPER.
