Not a single teacher is indifferent, not a single parent is harsh and uncaring. Not a single academic opportunity is ever denied on any basis but merit. In the dirtiest slums of our country, the most able minds and compassionate hearts in the land are at work, trying to alleviate poverty. Crime is waning, aided by the sincere efforts of neighborhood groups and honest police. The civic authorities are reliable and respected, even adored for their tireless efforts.
Public housing is easy to obtain, relatively inexpensive and of good quality.
To serve the country is a badge of honor, a privilege. Homeless shelters are clean and caring, providing nutritious food and genuine concern. Hospitals are efficient and dependable, the backbone of a society that has mastered the secrets of health and longevity. The national highways are true arteries of the land, bridging its spectacular culture and breathtaking diversity. The information superhighway has put the world within our reach, and citizens everywhere slip easily into other worlds far removed from their physical lives.
