Tweet the American Dream

NPR had a segment on the American Dream this morning and asked listeners to submit their dream (pictures/words or both) to them.  I sat down this morning and wrote out my dream - which is related to the Moon Race post.

"I dream of a nation united in peaceful purpose with an audacious goal of freedom for every human being.  Like Andrew Carnegie's gift of public libraries to our nation, we should lead the world to a ubiquitous and free dissemination of public Internet access.  Freedom of ideas can tear down the mental prisons of despair and release the energy of hope throughout the world.  Only then can the American Dream become every one's Dream."

Off to the site to submit my entry - but alas there was a catch.  The Dream could only be 140 Characters! We have become a nation of tweeters.

So here is the Tweet -  "Like Carnegie's gift of Public Libraries, I dream of ubiquitous, free access for everyone, everywhere to the Internet."
