Nevertheless, I did not unequivocally rule out a political future. If I ever do decide to enter politics, however, it will not be because of high popularity ratings, but because I have a vision for this country. Frankly, the present atmosphere does not make entering public service especially attractive. I find that civility is being driven from our political discourse. For all the present sensitivity over correctness, we seem to have lost our sense of shame as a society. We say we are appalled by the rise of sexually transmitted disease by the wave of teenage pregnancies by violent crime. Yet we drench ourselves in depictions of explicit sex and crime on television, in the movies, and in pop music. How do we find our way again? How do we reestablish moral standards? How do we end the ethnic fragmentation that is making us an increasingly hyphenated people? How do we restore a sense of family to our national life? On the speech circuit I tell a story that goes to the heart of America's longing. The ABC correspondent Sam Donaldson was interviewing a young African American soldier in a tankletoon on the eve of battle in Desert Storm. Donaldson asks, how do you think the battle will go? Are you afraid? We will do okay. We're well trained. And I'm not afraid, the GI answered, gesturing toward his buddies around him. I'm not afraid because I'm with my family. The other soldiers shouted, tell him again, he didn't hear you. Those were repeated, this is my family, and we'll take care of each other. That story never fails to touch me or the audience. It is a metaphor for what we have to do as a nation. We have to start thinking of America as a family. We have to stop screeching at each other, stop hurting each other, and instead start caring for sacrificing for and sharing with each other. We have to stop continually criticizing which is the cry of the ideologue, and instead get back to the can-do attitude that made America. We have to keep trying and risk failing in order to solve this country's problems. We cannot move forward if cynics and critics swoop down and pick apart anything that goes wrong to a point where we lose sight of what is right, decent, and uniquely good about America. In this season of our discontent, I find it heartening to look back. Remember during the 60s and 70s when people wondered how we could survive the assassinations of John Martin and Bobby, a war that tore us apart, riots in front of the White House, and the resignations in disgrace of a vice president and a president? Some counted us out. Another once great empire in terminal decline, but we came roaring back while other empires fell instead. We will prevail in our present trials. We will come through because our founders bequeath us a political system of genius. We will continue to flourish because our diverse American society has the strength, hardiness, and resilience of the hybrid plant we are. We will make it because we know we are blessed, and we will not for away gods give to us. Jefferson once wrote, There is a debt of service due from every man to his country, proportion to the bounties which nature and fortune have measured to him. As one who has received so much from his country, I feel that debt heavily, and I can never be entirely free of it. My responsibility, our responsibility as lucky Americans, is to try to give back to this country as much as it has given to us as we continue our American journey together.
