I agree with the point about Lennon's naïve idealism but I disagree that we have that much difficulty getting along with people of various races and religions. Nothing is perfect but the US beats most other countries in that regard from what I've seen.

instead of dreaming for hope and change, I dream instead for an outbreak of contagious common sense ... which seems to be in very short supply right now.
