I believe that America can be greater than it ever was before.

That does not mean that its destined to be. Destiny makes us lazy.
Destiny is like those post-Tour de France cycling criteriums where the
top three places were guaranteed to the three big TdF heroes taking
part ~ if you are in shape and need to keep going, maybe Destiny can
keep the momentum going ~ but its no way to build up to race fitness.

Indeed, it does not mean that its at all likely. It may well be
massively unlikely. But whether an outcome is likely or unlikely is an
issue for passive spectators, watching from the sidelines. The issue
for participants is whether the game is worth the candle ~ whether the
prize substantial enough to make it worthwhile playing to win.

Our modern mess media trains us to the passive observer role, with
their habitual "trackside race call" coverage of public affairs.
However, if we participate, that trains us in the active player role,
and the real life experience is a deeper lesson than the color and
noise on the noise box.
