Who's Playing " What if " ?

Letter to the Editor from the Abilene Reporter News

What if ?
September 16, 2005

When I was a little girl, we played a ''what if'' game. So, let's play!

What if there was no political party and every one voted for the person and what he or she stood for? What if the president's son or daughter served in Iraq and was wounded or came home in a flag-draped box? How would he feel? What if there weren't any large oil companies to control the cost of oil and gas? What if Congress had to live on minimum wage? What if employers had to live on the wages they pay their employees? What if senior citizens didn't have to decide between food and medicine? What if CEOs worked because they loved it, not for the millions they make? What if we loved our enemies as much as God loves us? What if we treated our loved ones everyday as if there was no tomorrow?

Maybe we should be as children and play the ''what if'' game again.
