Are we there yet?

Society seems to be getting more empathetic, more caring, more connected. Of course we still have a long way to go, lots of inequities, but look back 50 years.

We had raging race inequities that were accepted by law and society. No one even dared mention homosexuality. Women had many fewer options. Communists were to be feared and hated. Anyone who ever watched tv shows knew that the only good indian was a dead indian.

Today we are so much more one global civilization. We are on the path toward understanding our connectedness. All we have to do is survive the journey.
