It was inspired in part by Shakesville. I wrote it in 2010, but still think expecting more--about understanding, tolerance, communicating, seeing people for what they live and where they are and appreciating what we all want to rise to is the best thing I ever tried to incorporate into my vision. It's fine to want better--but you fight if you expect it to work. I want to be a fighter. I expect more. My little teaspoon will gag somebody--and it's fine.
