    Well, we had a 2 term black president, so all those civil rights marches had some effect.
    People no longer hit their kids, or if they do, it's a crime.
    Most folks don't care if a neighbor is Jewish, Hindi, Muslim, or Christian, everyone is beautiful in their own way.
    I think we made a difference...a few differences, and they're all good.

    Our current administration is actively trying their best to undo all of that...

    So is Russia's.
    I don't want it to be that way, and I'm grateful for previous generations that paved the way to equality and reasonableness. But the fact is Admiral Bonespurs is hell bent on division in some sick attempt to make him feel good about himself (Schadenfreude perhaps?), and he has enough of a cult to pull it off. Peace among the races? Now we can't even all agree to wear a mask during a goddamn pandemic.
    PS: That is not my administration. It's the cult's.

    Sadly, we need to change it again.

    I wonder if Bob Dylan would mind Weird Al Yankovic doing a remix?

    Well, I'm working on a parody. Here's what I have so far:
    Hey Mr Tangerine Man, build a wall for me 'coz I'm stupid and I don't know you're not going to.
    Hey Mr Tangerine Man keep Muslims away from me. With your Jingoistic world view I'll come following you.
    In place of "I promise you no wandering",my version will say "please keep out all those Mexicans!"
    It's a work in progress. Anyone wanna join in?

    I'll be happy if we can just keep . Trumpy the horrible clown from changing it back. You know that's what he means by "make America great again...bring it back to how it was before civil rights.

    Of course. It's code for that, hating anything and especially anyone who was "different" and the times with a pretty veneer of white picket fences, 2.3 cars and meticulously maintained colonials, behind whose walls our seminal hero, the Man of the House, beat his wife and raped his kids, and no one said nary a word.
    I'm sorry if my cynicism is counterproductive, but I'm particularly upset, pissed off, annoyed, disappointed and brokenhearted by what has taken over our great Country.

    This country has always been f*cked for the poor and great if you have enough money to achieve the American dream. It used to be that if you worked hard, you could become successful. For the poor, the end of that dream began with Reagan and has gotten more elusive with every conservative administration since. It's no wonder there is currently so much unrest in our cities. They're protesting the abuse of Blacks by police, but it goes far deeper than that. People have lost hope for their future.

    @Idlewild I have to agree, on many levels there is no hope.

    But getting depressed about it ain't gonna help.

    Action, on a very personal level is required by EVERYONE on the planet.

    Stop with the plastic first. Quit being a blind consumer, start creating. Grow food, even if a single herb plant. Help the less fortunate, encourage the downtrodden.

    There's a million things we as people can do at a very basic level to spark change for the better.

    Moaning about man's inhumanity to man simply furthers the downward spiral.

    I don't think that's true but you're entitled to your opinion...for now.
    If Trump has his way that may change.
