5. I know that feeling, Ocelot!

We DID do all of this 50 years and more ago. Some of us never stopped, and some of us got stomped on when we tried to raise the alarm when we saw it begin to disappear 10 years ago. Minority rights always seem to get "prioritized" depending on what's going on at the time. But those of us who marched and protested 50 years ago believe in the ethics and morality of what we're doing and why we're doing it. We're just not willing to watch it all get stripped away for thought police and militarization of our police in increasing levels. I hate to put it like this, but some of us actually grew up with the idea of a near Utopian "Age of Aquarius" where we could all live in harmony and (at least) tolerance of one another... and we're not ready to give up the dream even into our old age.
