Totally understand your point....Dan Carlin, host of two of my fave podcasts, said this,"How can we agree to come together and solve problems when we can't even agree on what the problems are?"
I posted that primarily because she is asking the same question I was when I was a young lad. I grew up on a large diet of Star Trek, the original series....I always liked the show because it projected a future, however fictional, where many of the problems that humans have faces for ever had been solved for the most part. Roddenberry himself said this:
"Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms."
The longer I have lived the more I realize that it will take a lot longer than it did in that show.
Anyone who is a student of history, American History in particular, has to see that, from the very beginning, the people who came here to build a new world lost sight of the fact that there was already a world here. We blew that chance to be good neighbors to the actual Americans (Native) and then doubled down by bringing people from other places as unwilling labor to help build it. The list of sins is long and gruesome....and it IS time to begin, really this time, to try and make it as right as we can.
