As a representative of Sister America, I would like to apologize for the racism, sexism, outright cruelty, and ignorance of over seventy-four million of my neighbors. I would like to apologize for the lethargy of more than twenty-eight million of my neighbors who were eligible to vote and didn't. The rest of us care about issues such as human rights and the environment more than our own personal, selfish interests. We've been on this merry-go-round before- but until it directly impacts their lives in a tangible, personal fashion, people don't learn.

Dear the rest of the world,
As a representative of Sister America, I would like to apologize for the racism, sexism, outright cruelty, and ignorance of over seventy-four million of my neighbors. I would like to apologize for the lethargy of more than twenty-eight million of my neighbors who were eligible to vote and didn't. The rest of us care about issues such as human rights and the environment more than our own personal, selfish interests. We've been on this merry-go-round before- but until it directly impacts their lives in a tangible, personal fashion, people don't learn.
