What in the heck are they thinking, don't they even realize..."this is the way it's always been done?"


I think I recall reading the same things being said...during Women's Suffrage and the Civil Rights movement.


Or was that right before...the dinosaurs became extinct?


I can't really remember...because I'm getting too old.
Because young people, newer to this world than older people are filled with all kinds of wonderful ideas that they think can fix everything. They often think that the answer lies with new words and new rules and the human race being more aware of inequalities and unkindness. As they get older and observe the world longer, many begin to see that the answer lies within themselves and the individual responsibility of each of us and that we cannot legislate morality or march and congregate to make people be kind to each other.

And some people will never be kind to others. Their heartbreak and anger has nothing to do with social justice.
