Well Mark, I have. Hmmm, another left-over sixties activist still hiding out hoping the revolution will still come.

Odds are that your grandparents didn’t go to college, or that your grandfather did and your grandmother didn’t. Surely, your grandfather had a job outside the home and more than likely your grandmother did not. Now, you probably don’t know anyone who can’t get an education or hope for any career they choose.

You probably don’t know anyone who died of a botched illegal abortion.

You probably know someone who is gay and open about it. Someday, the brutal murders of people like Matthew Sheppard will seem as ancient as the common public lynchings of blacks barely a generation ago.

You’ve never seen a Whites Only sign except in a museum or history book.

Chances are good that some female or person of color has rank over you professionally. That didn’t happen 40 years ago. Everywhere you go, people who are not exactly like you have exactly the same freedom. It hasn’t always been so.

I don’t know why you disdain me, but I’m especially puzzled by your confusion: there was a successful revolution — it changed everything for millions of people. I’m not waiting for that, just for the final passing of reactionaries who think tax cuts for the rich are as great an accomplishment. mjh
