"What ever happened to the idea of striving . . . to be better human beings than we are?"
In talking to J the other night after the AZ discussion, I shrugged off mass ignorance, racism and prejudice, not because I'm not affected by it, but because I know it can't last. No offense to anyone, but I'm a mixed race girl in a mixed race marriage, and statistically speaking time is on my side. While it might not be unanimous the values and politics of my generation are vastly different from those in power now, and the sun is setting on the Old Republic.
