I expect too much too soon.
But...You are right. I expect too much too soon. <br /><br />But whatever benefits protesting has will not happen in my time. I can only look now at the short term. <br /><br />And my only wish is for a new Administration, as well as a more liberal Congress.Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215036862051955994.post-85551303210052938482017-09-19T05:08:35.244-10:002017-09-19T05:08:35.244-10:00I know - it seems like a useless waste of time. B...I know - it seems like a useless waste of time. But it's not. It just takes time. Activists brought about voting rights for women, civil rights for African Americans, civil rights for non-heterosexuals, better treatments for AIDs victims. It just takes time to change the way people think. I've begun watching Ken Burns' The Vietnam War. I remember the war protesters. I think they helped bring an end to the war. One of the veterans - looking at the camera - said it was the last time that American youth believed that their government would never lie to them.<br /><br />So yes, I'm hopeful. I believe activism is our best chance, even when we seem hopelessly divided.<br /><br />Lindahttps://commonplacefortheuncommon.com/noreply@blogger.com
