"America is a very powerful country.... we can not afford for our conversation to be superficial/childish/irresponsible... because everything we do has consequences... What we do comes back to us... What our country does comes back to us..." @marwilliamson

"We are way too close to the cliff. We can't just back away from the cliff. We need to get out of the vicinity of the cliff. We're not living in a time where incremental change is needed - we need a serious disruption... and we need it now." @marwilliamson

Marianne is now speaking on the amoral American economy that has no human responsibility. "There is a disconnection from love and that is causing chaos. The political system has become a handmaiden to this system. This is an inversion to an aristocracy." @marwilliamson

Marianne is discussing the issues in America that will remain issues so long as short term profit maximization take priority over anything else. No healthcare No common sense gun legislation No fight on the climate crisis No peace creating agenda All to benefit corporations.

"Democracy does not just give us rights... it gives us responsibility... when those words were inscribed in the Declaration of Independence, 41 of them were slave owners.... that dichotomy has always been with us."

"It is our time. We're not the first generation to be facing assaults... let us not be the first ones to wimp out to get this country back on track. We need to have a very real and serious conversation... We are ready for this." @marwilliamson

Need to help kids in America's "domestic war zones"/violence in schools/communities/homes/these kids live in a state of trauma. Soldiers w/ PTSD is post traumatic/these kids suffer from present traumatic/We should be rescuing children/as if they're victims of a natural disaster.

We cap people's dreams. America is about unleashing people's dreams. Too much worrying now - what if I get sick? How am I going to pay for college? It is not supposed to be this way. It did not used to be this way. Bad policies made it this way & good policies can take it back.
