Ah, I was just stating the obvious.
If anyone had told me when I was a kid that today there would be less racial and ethnic prejudice(at least here in Lotusland, aka Vancouver), less hating on gay people, less paranoia about how you dressed and behaved, and a steadily dropping number of nuclear weapons rattling about, I would have thought we were approaching paradise. But then there's global warming, frying the world on the installment plan instead of in one huge H-bomb fireworks display. Always something.... I wonder what it would be like to spend twenty years without a real crisis of any sort? We'd probably get bored and invent one.
