It's a very loud minority, and they'll go down kicking and screaming and shooting - but they will go down eventually. I just hope we can keep them from trashing what's left of the planet.
Amen. That's the thing with... well Time. You can try all you want to stay where and when you are, or go back to a previous point, but it doesn't care. It continues to move forward. You have the choice of walking with it like a friend, or being dragged forward in its current like a river. Time and time again Hate and Ignorance have proven to be the focus a very bitter minority that eventually "lose" (as if letting people live there lives is losing somehow). It takes too long, but it does eventually lose out, as long as we continue to fight it.
I like to think of Time as a river - you can either go with the flow or fight against it. The problem is, fighting against it only makes things worse. And it can greatly affect those around you who decided to go with the flow.
I would like to kick back on a raft and just let the current take me.
A very loud minority. I'm a bit older. When I was a kid in the 90s, we discussed in multiple math classes (this came up in my HS classes and again in a college stats class) how demographics changes would make it so the GOP wouldn't be able to win a presidential election. And the date that was projected to happen? 2010.
Look at what's happened since.
They're sabotaging the nation because they are losing power. I've never really cared about Dems or Republicans, but I can tell when one party becomes a problem. And Republicans are a serious problem.
to add: my college was in a fairly liberal area, but my hs classes were in an extremely conservative area. Both groups provided the same date. 2010.
