I was set up last night. My girlfriend invited me over to her place and I expected a quiet evening. Half a dozen of her girlfriends were there including the girl I've been seeing on the side. They jumped me and totally trashed me. I spent most of the evening tied to a tree in drag, but they tried to make things more permanent. They put long lasting lipstick and waterproof makeup on me and broke the zipper on the dress they put me in. They even put tiny locks through the straps in my shoes. With effort I got untied this morning and got most everything off with a scissors or scrubbing. The two things I can't get off are these long fake nails which they glued on and this wig. They used a crochet needle to thread my hair into the wig. I know what they did is illegal and they will regret it, but my main concerns are getting the wig and nails off. Then I'm going to do something about the pictures. Any ideas?
Help Me Get This Stuff Off?
LMAO!! how harsh are they!?
they took pictures ?!?
wow.
but then it is kinda ur fault
anywayz...
to get the wig off go to a hiardresser
or if u dont wanna do that shave ur head
and to get the fake nails of pull them
mine come of all the time ¬¬
if that doesnt work just soak them in nail varnish remover coz that will kill the glue
good luck
Reply:i agree...go to a salon...after that you will need professional help....make those girls pay for the costs...you should sue them or something
Reply:wtf..
Reply:-Go to a salon to get that wig out. I know, it sucks, and it'll be embarrassing...but please, don't attempt to get that thing out yourself, you could really hurt yourself and possibly lose some of your own hair trying to get it out!
-Try nail polish remover. I heard that you can get fake nails off that way, and they peel off really easily.
I'm sorry this happened to you, and good luck! xoxo
Reply:You deserved it. I hope they never come off
Reply:go straight to a salon they take off nails and they can fix your wig misshap
Reply:maybe you shouldn't have been seeing another girl on the side.
i feel no pain for you.
Reply:yeah the first girl is right.
lmao im sorry but that kinda sounded hilarious. Are you okay?? That really sucks.
Reply:soak the nails in a bowl of nail polish remover, that will help. about the wig go to a hair dresser ASAP. good luck.
Reply:Well to get the nails off, soak your hands on warm water with some nail polish remover (if you don't have any, go to dollar general or whatever and get some, VERY CHEAP!) then pick them off. they will come off very easily. for the wig. try un-weaving it. I'm not exactly sure what to do, but if nothing works, go to a saloon! To get them in trouble, call the police or whoever. or go to the station. if you are still in grade school, tell there parents. (grade school/jhs/hs) Hope i helped and i'm terribly sorry ! ♥
Reply:Yeah, nice dream you had.

I have dreams about getting into trouble and flying to safety...? What does it mean?
For example, this time, I had a dream about being "locked up" but there were no cells or anything. It was more like a really dingy, dark, dirty high school, and all of us were high school age. We (my "crew") were around the lunch table, plotting and planning our escape, but in order to do it we needed an old (out of style) pair of bowling shoes as part of one person's disguise or something. So me and another kid went down some stairs to the cellar to go look, and somehow we ended up outside. It's not that we weren't allowed there, but I guess the guard was on to us, because immediately, she started shooting. I grabbed the other kid, concentrated real hard, and flew up to safety. And then, I concentrated again and cast spell to make us invisible as we hid up in a tree.
Like always with these "danger/escape" dreams, no matter what happens, if I just clear my mind and force myself to believe I can fly, I start to fly, and in every case I (we, this time) make it to safety. What's it mean?

What lies did your parents tell you?
My dad told me if you eat too much sugar you get worms grow inside you (sadly I was 24 when i realised this was a lie when i blurted it out to a boyfriend who had just eaten a sugar cube - the moment of realisation came too late ie. he was a laughing heap on the floor!)
A friends dad told her Jeremy Beadle had one hand smaller than the other because he trapped it in the washing machine (have to wonder how he would close the door?!)
Some other good ones:
*If you stand in a puddle your shoes will shrink on your feet
*If an earwig gets in your ear it will eat your brain
*If you pick your nose your head will cave in
*If you swallow an apple pip a tree will grow in your belly
What lies did your parents tell you?
I once told my ex's kids when it was snowing that the cows outside don't get cold because they are snow cows and their milk is used for making ice cream.

Reply:my mums father is scottish and my mum always told us that a haggis is an animal that lives on the hills of scotland and the legs on it's right side are longer than the legs on its left side so it can balance on the steep slopes of the hills BUT it can only walk around the mountain one way or it would fall over.
Whenever my grandad had a haggis sent to him I thought it was the animal with its head and legs cut off ready for eating.
I still cant look at a haggis without picturing that poor animal, doomed to an eternity of walking around the mountain in one direction.
Also, if I watch too much TV i'd get square eyes.

Please tell me what you think of my story?
It is a normal spring day, and i decide to have my lunch break in the local park, the weather is good, warm enough for summer clothes, yet not hot enough to complain about.
I sit on a bench under the shade of a tree, the wind blowing through the tree causing shadows to dance on the well-maintained lawn. The park is a hive of activity today, an assortment of people, professions and past times. A man walks past me in his well pressed business suit, he is not much younger than me, he is talking on his mobile phone, a little to loudly than necessary, trying to sound important to those in earshot of him, or trying to sound important to himself.
An elderly couple is sat on a picnic blanket on the lawn, there silver hair shinning in the afternoon sun, homemade sandwiches and cakes in brown paper bags, their faces are content, yet their eyes tell a different story, for after a life time of love, sharing and companionship, should one of them pass, the other would be truly alone.
A young female runner runs past them, her toned body a billboard for her generation, her even strides cushioned by the latest running shoes and designer sunglasses to block out the sun. Tight fitting running clothes, to either enhance her performance, or to leave those who look at her an object of desire, sexual and envious, covers her body.
She runs past a group of teenage school kids, as she passes the boys they mimic the bounce of her breasts with their hands, much to the annoyance of the girls who roll there eyes.
A young couple walk past hand in hand, smiles on their faces as they watch their young toddler kick a bright orange ball, he squeals with delight, his rosy cheeks and innocent eyes oblivious to the hardships he will one day face, but for now he is content will sugar coated treats and colourful images on the T.V.
A small bird takes my attention, a sparrow I think, he is doing a little hop type of dance in front of a cluster of bushes, he then darts into them, coming out with a small bug in his beak, he then flies up into a tree, He returns moments later to do the same thing again.
Yet the more I watch his antics the more I wonder about him.
I wonder if he is feeding his young, is this instinct that drives him to do this, or is it a parental love? Will he get frustrated if he cannot get enough food?
Will his little heart swell with pride when his young take flight for the first time? Does he know of love? Does his heart skip a beat when he sees his mate? Or will it break when one day she does not return? Does he know of fear? Will he cower in the treetops when a storm comes crashing down upon him? Does he know of racism? Do other birds treat him unkind because he is not the same breed as they? Does he know of joy? Will he sing that little bit better when the sun is shinning on a clear day? Does he know of God and the creation? Is he aware of me as i am of him, and knows of man, war and death?
If he is aware of all of these then I feel sorry for him, for why should he suffer the folly’s of man, and yet if he is not aware I am equally sorry for him for the wonder of life is a thing to behold and the joy and sorrow it brings is a thing to be shared by all.
Please tell me what you think of my story?

PETA.. why is there such a group?
do those people who are part of PATE realize they help contribute to the killing of animals? like pam andersond would not wear fur, but more than likely her shoes are not made of plastic, they're made of leather. and what about the houses you guys live in.... cutting down a tree that was an animals home to make your own home, and the land you put your house on probably destroyed many animals homes? so there is no way some one can be completely animal friendly
PETA.. why is there such a group?
no, you're right. There's no way to be absolutely 100% animal friendly and zero impact. even if environmentalists ruled everything.
BUT there are lots of ways to lessen impact, and thats why groups like PETA exist. Groups like peta try to stop fur farming because we don't NEED fur. they try to stop animal abuse because we don't HAVE to abuse animals.
Groups like peta try to put options on the table. instead of corporate scum saying "all clothes will be made of seal skin, screw you and deal with it" you may have "heres' seal skin, but we also have plastic, hemp and so forth"

Yummm!!!
Reply:well there is no way to live completely without effecting negatively animals unfortunate, but leather in shoes is from cows thats bones have been often processed into things and dog bones (my dogs chew cattle bones) and the meat is used for food, and leather is the skin left over. Really leather is being the most resourceful with the animal ... but FUR is a whole different story, worn for the aesthetic beauty of the animals fur, often fox or mink who are not used for meat nor bones. They are prematurely killed for the sole purpose of their fur so vain people can think they look so nice in their fur clothes.... I do find PETA is extreme but also I believe they do raise some points on how to live more animal friendly, although I believe everyone knows it is impossible to live and never injure, kill or negatively affect an animal.... But a lot of the unnecessary killing just for vanity purposes and things is really just cruel
Reply:You're right, there's no way to live 100% animal and environment friendly. Every thing you do has an impact on the environment. However, the ethical treatment of animals usually comes into question where there is unnecessary suffering. THAT can be prevented or dramatically reduced. People who don't eat meat typically don't wear leather, fur, or down (feather). I'm wearing non-leather shoes right now.
Reply:To all the people who are against fur, fur is a renewable resource. Your thinsulate or fleece lined jackets will not keep you as warm as fur. They are made from petroleum products and they will not decompose when you are done wearing them. Fur is 100% biodgradable. Fur is the most environmentally friendly winter clothing you can get. Most fur is farm raised and wild trapped furs are not from endangered species. Nothing is completely animal friendly but when animal populations are well managed they live better lives than if hunting and trapping was eliminated.
Reply:yes, i agree and is there really any other way to test drugs, cosmetics, etc? i mean who will we test them on - plants?!? they don't have many similar DNA or characteristics to humans. but i guess any help/ support is better than none at all (for the animales - spanish for animals) :]
Reply:You must think people in PETA are stupid.
You also assume that they must be vegan ( you comment about shoes and leather) . If however they are Vegan, they will definitely have realized if their shoes are made out of leather, and will have changed.
They are for the Ethical treatment of animals, not for the not killing of. Although many are vegetarian/vegan
You are right- there is no way we can be 100% animal friendly. BUT its better to be 90% animal friendly that 0 %- and THAT is what PETA is about- doing everything we can do.
What you are saying ( "why bother" is basically your point as I can see it) is akin to saying " we cant cure all diseases, so why try to cure any? " . And I think that answers for itself.
I hope that helps answer "why is there such a group"

What do you think of this speech that Barack Obama made?
The Scripture tells us that when Joshua and the Israelites arrived at the gates of Jericho, they could not enter. The walls of the city were too steep for any one person to climb; too strong to be taken down with brute force. And so they sat for days, unable to pass on through.
But God had a plan for his people. He told them to stand together and march together around the city, and on the seventh day he told them that when they heard the sound of the ram's horn, they should speak with one voice. And at the chosen hour, when the horn sounded and a chorus of voices cried out together, the mighty walls of Jericho came tumbling down.
There are many lessons to take from this passage, just as there are many lessons to take from this day, just as there are many memories that fill the space of this church. As I was thinking about which ones we need to remember at this hour, my mind went back to the very beginning of the modern Civil Rights Era.
Because before Memphis and the mountaintop; before the bridge in Selma and the march on Washington; before Birmingham and the beatings; the fire hoses and the loss of those four little girls; before there was King the icon and his magnificent dream, there was King the young preacher and a people who found themselves suffering under the yoke of oppression.
And on the eve of the bus boycotts in Montgomery, at a time when many were still doubtful about the possibilities of change, a time when those in the black community mistrusted themselves, and at times mistrusted each other, King inspired with words not of anger, but of an urgency that still speaks to us today:
"Unity is the great need of the hour" is what King said. Unity is how we shall overcome.
What Dr. King understood is that if just one person chose to walk instead of ride the bus, those walls of oppression would not be moved. But maybe if a few more walked, the foundation might start to shake. If a few more women were willing to do what Rosa Parks had done, maybe the cracks would start to show. If teenagers took freedom rides from North to South, maybe a few bricks would come loose. Maybe if white folks marched because they had come to understand that their freedom too was at stake in the impending battle, the wall would begin to sway. And if enough Americans were awakened to the injustice; if they joined together, North and South, rich and poor, Christian and Jew, then perhaps that wall would come tumbling down, and justice would flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Unity is the great need of the hour -- the great need of this hour. Not because it sounds pleasant or because it makes us feel good, but because it's the only way we can overcome the essential deficit that exists in this country.
I'm not talking about a budget deficit. I'm not talking about a trade deficit. I'm not talking about a deficit of good ideas or new plans.
I'm talking about a moral deficit. I'm talking about an empathy deficit. I'm taking about an inability to recognize ourselves in one another; to understand that we are our brother's keeper; we are our sister's keeper; that, in the words of Dr. King, we are all tied together in a single garment of destiny.
We have an empathy deficit when we're still sending our children down corridors of shame -- schools in the forgotten corners of America where the color of your skin still affects the content of your education.
We have a deficit when CEOs are making more in ten minutes than some workers make in ten months; when families lose their homes so that lenders make a profit; when mothers can't afford a doctor when their children get sick.
We have a deficit in this country when there is Scooter Libby justice for some and Jena justice for others; when our children see nooses hanging from a schoolyard tree today, in the present, in the twenty-first century.
We have a deficit when homeless veterans sleep on the streets of our cities; when innocents are slaughtered in the deserts of Darfur; when young Americans serve tour after tour of duty in a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged.
And we have a deficit when it takes a breach in our levees to reveal a breach in our compassion; when it takes a terrible storm to reveal the hungry that God calls on us to feed; the sick He calls on us to care for; the least of these He commands that we treat as our own.
So we have a deficit to close. We have walls -- barriers to justice and equality -- that must come down. And to do this, we know that unity is the great need of this hour.
Unfortunately, all too often when we talk about unity in this country, we've come to believe that it can be purchased on the cheap. We've come to believe that racial reconciliation can come easily -- that it's just a matter of a few ignorant people trapped in the prejudices of the past, and that if the demagogues and those who exploit our racial divisions will simply go away, then all our problems would be solved.
All too often, we seek to ignore the profound institutional barriers that stand in the way of ensuring opportunity for all children, or decent jobs for all people, or health care for those who are sick. We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price.
But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes -- a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of our hearts.
It's not easy to stand in somebody else's shoes. It's not easy to see past our differences. We've all encountered this in our own lives. But what makes it even more difficult is that we have a politics in this country that seeks to drive us apart -- that puts up walls between us.
We are told that those who differ from us on a few things are different from us on all things; that our problems are the fault of those who don't think like us or look like us or come from where we do. The welfare queen is taking our tax money. The immigrant is taking our jobs. The believer condemns the non-believer as immoral, and the non-believer chides the believer as intolerant.
For most of this country's history, we in the African-American community have been at the receiving end of man's inhumanity to man. And all of us understand intimately the insidious role that race still sometimes plays -- on the job, in the schools, in our health care system, and in our criminal justice system.
And yet, if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that none of our hands are entirely clean. If we're honest with ourselves, we'll acknowledge that our own community has not always been true to King's vision of a beloved community.
We have scorned our gay brothers and sisters instead of embracing them. The scourge of anti-Semitism has, at times, revealed itself in our community. For too long, some of us have seen immigrants as competitors for jobs instead of companions in the fight for opportunity.
Every day, our politics fuels and exploits this kind of division across all races and regions; across gender and party. It is played out on television. It is sensationalized by the media. And last week, it even crept into the campaign for President, with charges and counter-charges that served to obscure the issues instead of illuminating the critical choices we face as a nation.
So let us say that on this day of all days, each of us carries with us the task of changing our hearts and minds. The division, the stereotypes, the scape-goating, the ease with which we blame our plight on others -- all of this distracts us from the common challenges we face -- war and poverty; injustice and inequality. We can no longer afford to build ourselves up by tearing someone else down. We can no longer afford to traffic in lies or fear or hate. It is the poison that we must purge from our politics; the wall that we must tear down before the hour grows too late.
Because if Dr. King could love his jailor; if he could call on the faithful who once sat where you do to forgive those who set dogs and fire hoses upon them, then surely we can look past what divides us in our time, and bind up our wounds, and erase the empathy deficit that exists in our hearts.
But if changing our hearts and minds is the first critical step, we cannot stop there. It is not enough to bemoan the plight of poor children in this country and remain unwilling to push our elected officials to provide the resources to fix our schools. It is not enough to decry the disparities of health care and yet allow the insurance companies and the drug companies to block much-needed reforms. It is not enough for us to abhor the costs of a misguided war, and yet allow ourselves to be driven by a politics of fear that sees the threat of attack as way to scare up votes instead of a call to come together around a common effort.
The Scripture tells us that we are judged not just by word, but by deed. And if we are to truly bring about the unity that is so crucial in this time, we must find it within ourselves to act on what we know; to understand that living up to this country's ideals and its possibilities will require great effort and resources; sacrifice and stamina.
And that is what is at stake in the great political debate we are having today. The changes that are needed are not just a matter of tinkering at the edges, and they will not come if politicians simply tell us what we want to hear. All of us will be called upon to make some sacrifice. None of us will be exempt from responsibility. We will have to fight to fix our schools, but we will also have to challenge ourselves to be better parents. We will have to confront the biases in our criminal justice system, but we will also have to acknowledge the deep-seated violence that still resides in our own communities and marshal the will to break its grip.
That is how we will bring about the change we seek. That is how Dr. King led this country through the wilderness. He did it with words -- words that he spoke not just to the children of slaves, but the children of slave owners. Words that inspired not just black but also white; not just the Christian but the Jew; not just the Southerner but also the Northerner.
He led with words, but he also led with deeds. He also led by example. He led by marching and going to jail and suffering threats and being away from his family. He led by taking a stand against a war, knowing full well that it would diminish his popularity. He led by challenging our economic structures, understanding that it would cause discomfort. Dr. King understood that unity cannot be won on the cheap; that we would have to earn it through great effort and determination.
That is the unity -- the hard-earned unity -- that we need right now. It is that effort, and that determination, that can transform blind optimism into hope -- the hope to imagine, and work for, and fight for what seemed impossible before.
The stories that give me such hope don't happen in the spotlight. They don't happen on the presidential stage. They happen in the quiet corners of our lives. They happen in the moments we least expect. Let me give you an example of one of those stories.
There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organizes for our campaign in Florence, South Carolina. She's been working to organize a mostly African-American community since the beginning of this campaign, and the other day she was at a roundtable discussion where everyone went around telling their story and why they were there.
And Ashley said that when she was nine years old, her mother got cancer. And because she had to miss days of work, she was let go and lost her health care. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that's when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom.
She knew that food was one of their most expensive costs, and so Ashley convinced her mother that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.
She did this for a year until her mom got better, and she told everyone at the roundtable that the reason she joined our campaign was so that she could help the millions of other children in the country who want and need to help their parents too.
So Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they're supporting the campaign. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific issue. And finally they come to this elderly black man who's been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he's there. And he does not bring up a specific issue. He does not say health care or the economy. He does not say education or the war. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley."
By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough. It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children.
But it is where we begin. It is why the walls in that room began to crack and shake.
And if they can shake in that room, they can shake in Atlanta.
And if they can shake in Atlanta, they can shake in Georgia.
And if they can shake in Georgia, they can shake all across America. And if enough of our voices join together; we can bring those walls tumbling down. The walls of Jericho can finally come tumbling down. That is our hope -- but only if we pray together, and work together, and march together.
Brothers and sisters, we cannot walk alone.
In the struggle for peace and justice, we cannot walk alone.
In the struggle for opportunity and equality, we cannot walk alone
In the struggle to heal this nation and repair this world, we cannot walk alone.
So I ask you to walk with me, and march with me, and join your voice with mine, and together we will sing the song that tears down the walls that divide us, and lift up an America that is truly indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for all. May God bless the memory of the great pastor of this church, and may God bless the United States of America.
What do you think of this speech that Barack Obama made?
I would like to know how you managed to fit all those words in your question box????
Don't they have a limit on the amount of word you can use?
Tell me what you did??
By the way..Obama's speech ROCKED! He's an awesome speaker!
Reply:I didn't finish reading his speech if this is in fact his speech. It was too long to read. I just scrolled down to the end of it. Did you copy and paste? I haven't seen this on the Internet. My opinion about what part I did read would be that Obama is grasping at straws. He's clueless about what will attract voters. Every political candidate will always use scriptures from the Bible, children, elders, war and other influentical speakers like MLK. Why didn't Obama use MLK in his other speeches months ago? Why pick today of all days to use MLK? MLK will not bring voters to the polls. The only way a voter will come to the polls if they have solid evidence that the economy will decrease. It's like saying I will pay you $100-1000 for a vote. I will give you a tax free year meaning the voters won't have to pay any taxes for the following year. That's the only way a voter will show up. I'm voting for McCain. I voted for him in the last presidential race. I just vote for a person's looks. I vote for the underdog like Bush. I didn't think Bush would win but he did. I vote for the cutiest candidate cuz their speeches are just useless tactics that won't come true. Our economy will never improve. I vote for the candidate who has a simple last name. Obama reminds be of that terrorist Osama Bin Linden name. That's why I won't vote for him. If McCain don't get into the presidential race I will vote for Hilliary cuz she's a woman like I did with the previous female candidate which I cannot remember her name. I'm 46 so I've been around too many presidential races. The word Unity is not a good tactic to use. If you look at the number of voters on election day you'll noitce only 25% of voters in the entire state comes out to vote. People don't register to vote cause you get called for Jury Duty. The day a black, female, Asian, Hispanic or another enthic gets to be President is the day I will win the lottery. All Americans are self-centered of the white culture running the White House thats why it's called the "White" house, right? Not because it's colored white it's a symbol of unity. Unity of one nation. A nation that's fixed on one set color or beliefs. Who would be Obama's vice presidential candidate?

Reply:All of this aside.. he intends to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Now the Rich have people who will move their money overseas in a blink and the people he will take money from own a home in Cheyenne, Wyoming down in South West. He will wind up taking money from the moderately well to do, and giving it to the poor in the inner cities and I refuse to support that. All the bull aside.. if you don't want to work down in the inner cities, it is because you don't want to.
Do we all understand that they have suggested that for every five dollars that we send to Washington for social welfare programs, only one of the five dollars gets out and is applied to those programs? You might be able to do those programs at the State level, but at the Federal Level.. it doesn't work. One in five stays alive, and gets down to the grocery store.
Reply:He wasn't even born in the modern civil rights era, so its all crap and boring to boot. This election is not about civil rights and him trying to take it there makes me not respect him even more. He is playing on the emotions of a struggle he had no part in. Pathetic....simply pathetic.

Preaching is nice to hear m but reality is awakinng!
Reply:Most of the time when a politician makes a religious-themed speech, its because that politician is campaigning on forcing his religious beliefs on non-believers. However, this speech is significantly different, as Obama is not using religion to promote hate and war, but instead is using it for inspiration to bring about a better world.
I'm glad that the fundamentalists finally have some competition from moderate Christians in the political arena.

But God had a plan for his people. He told them to stand together and march together around the city, and on the seventh day he told them that when they heard the sound of the ram's horn, they should speak with one voice. And at the chosen hour, when the horn sounded and a chorus of voices cried out together, the mighty walls of Jericho came tumbling down.
There are many lessons to take from this passage, just as there are many lessons to take from this day, just as there are many memories that fill the space of this church. As I was thinking about which ones we need to remember at this hour, my mind went back to the very beginning of the modern Civil Rights Era.
Because before Memphis and the mountaintop; before the bridge in Selma and the march on Washington; before Birmingham and the beatings; the fire hoses and the loss of those four little girls; before there was King the icon and his magnificent dream, there was King the young preacher and a people who found themselves suffering under the yoke of oppression.
And on the eve of the bus boycotts in Montgomery, at a time when many were still doubtful about the possibilities of change, a time when those in the black community mistrusted themselves, and at times mistrusted each other, King inspired with words not of anger, but of an urgency that still speaks to us today:
"Unity is the great need of the hour" is what King said. Unity is how we shall overcome.
What Dr. King understood is that if just one person chose to walk instead of ride the bus, those walls of oppression would not be moved. But maybe if a few more walked, the foundation might start to shake. If a few more women were willing to do what Rosa Parks had done, maybe the cracks would start to show. If teenagers took freedom rides from North to South, maybe a few bricks would come loose. Maybe if white folks marched because they had come to understand that their freedom too was at stake in the impending battle, the wall would begin to sway. And if enough Americans were awakened to the injustice; if they joined together, North and South, rich and poor, Christian and Jew, then perhaps that wall would come tumbling down, and justice would flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Unity is the great need of the hour -- the great need of this hour. Not because it sounds pleasant or because it makes us feel good, but because it's the only way we can overcome the essential deficit that exists in this country.
I'm not talking about a budget deficit. I'm not talking about a trade deficit. I'm not talking about a deficit of good ideas or new plans.
I'm talking about a moral deficit. I'm talking about an empathy deficit. I'm taking about an inability to recognize ourselves in one another; to understand that we are our brother's keeper; we are our sister's keeper; that, in the words of Dr. King, we are all tied together in a single garment of destiny.
We have an empathy deficit when we're still sending our children down corridors of shame -- schools in the forgotten corners of America where the color of your skin still affects the content of your education.
We have a deficit when CEOs are making more in ten minutes than some workers make in ten months; when families lose their homes so that lenders make a profit; when mothers can't afford a doctor when their children get sick.
We have a deficit in this country when there is Scooter Libby justice for some and Jena justice for others; when our children see nooses hanging from a schoolyard tree today, in the present, in the twenty-first century.
We have a deficit when homeless veterans sleep on the streets of our cities; when innocents are slaughtered in the deserts of Darfur; when young Americans serve tour after tour of duty in a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged.
And we have a deficit when it takes a breach in our levees to reveal a breach in our compassion; when it takes a terrible storm to reveal the hungry that God calls on us to feed; the sick He calls on us to care for; the least of these He commands that we treat as our own.
So we have a deficit to close. We have walls -- barriers to justice and equality -- that must come down. And to do this, we know that unity is the great need of this hour.
Unfortunately, all too often when we talk about unity in this country, we've come to believe that it can be purchased on the cheap. We've come to believe that racial reconciliation can come easily -- that it's just a matter of a few ignorant people trapped in the prejudices of the past, and that if the demagogues and those who exploit our racial divisions will simply go away, then all our problems would be solved.
All too often, we seek to ignore the profound institutional barriers that stand in the way of ensuring opportunity for all children, or decent jobs for all people, or health care for those who are sick. We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price.
But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes -- a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of our hearts.
