Another kind of colour blind

I have a dream that my four little 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…” Speech by the Rev. Martin Luter King Jr. at the “March on Washington”, 1963.

 

 

 

There is no political spectrum

Imagine a roadway that is divided into two separate lanes by a solid painted line along its middle. There is a right lane, there is a left lane. Imagine one is driving along this roadway in one of the two lanes, and one crosses over the dividing line into the other lane.

One is now travelling in a new lane, and one is no longer travelling in the other lane. One may only travel in the right lane or the left lane. One may not drive along the line because this is not a lane. There is no centre lane.

One can not drive in two lanes at once, nor drive more in one lane, or partially drive in another. There are only two lanes: Right and Left.

I think Lindsay may just be begining her journey along this imaginary roadway.
