My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
Australia has embraced migrants from all different races, making us one of the most multiracial nations on earth.

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth.
