Arbolito optimista
Después de la muy anunciada nevada que sí llegó y duró menos de 15 minutos, hoy volvió a salir el sol.
Así que con solecito y frío invernal acompañé a Meagan a The Austin Optimist Club, a escoger su optimist christmas tree.
Y mientras la chamaca se divierte en el centro viendo como prenden el arbolote austiniano, yo intento avanzarle a mis ensayos finales que son para ya!
Por lo pronto me encontré algo que no me sirve por ahora, but I liked. Así que lo comparto:
I am imagining a postpatriotism where the ‘distribution of wealth’ is a democratic principle -an ethics of equity- not a communist threat; where to be ‘radical’ is a praxis of national critique that deconstructs an re-imagines the operations of power and empire, not a deadly extremism to be feared; where the love and loyalty of country is so deep and strong it can engage the problematics of the words ‘America’ and ‘American’ by recognizing that we are the United States OF America and not the United States that IS America. Embracing the fact that we are but one great country sharing the North American continent with other great countries whose citizens are also Americans and whose histories on this continent are more ancient than our own and as vastly significant.

Madison ignoró al resto del continente, pero bueeeeeno.
