It's time to advance beyond an America in which all citizens live in harmony, so that we can become an America in which all citizens live in deepest intimacy. The best place to start is with my neighbor Kevin. We often do our laundry at the same time but when I say hello he only greets me with a brusque nod. The constitution should be amended to require Kevin to embrace me for a period of no less than five seconds, with his mouth close to my ear so that I can hear his breath. Kevin's hugs are long overdue.
