That’s the promise of America – the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper.
BARACK OBAMA, DNC speech, Aug. 28, 2008
“Just to clarify, brothers and sisters – *I’m* the keeper, and there’s no escape.”
But I prefer being my brother’s midfield maestro.
I have no brothers.
You can keep my sisters if you want to.
The 300lb leech next door is neither my brother or my sister so why am I her keeper? Well, one of them, it takes many.
