Broad and Lombard--part of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program--that always got on my nerves. It declared that "if you can dream it, you can do." This, of course, is arrant nonsense. I can dream all I want about being a concert violinist, it ain't gonna happen. Ever. There's a reason we distinguish between dream and reality.I suppose all of this stuff derives from the latter-day preoccupation with self-esteem.
