"You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one."

No country, no possessions, no religion--nothing to kill or die for; what a vision! Happy birthday, John Lennon! We still celebrate and pray for your dream.

I often wonder what John would think about this country if he were still alive, never as much as on his birthday.
