Not all here were even alive in the 60s, but you and I recall the slogan "there is no way to peace; peace IS the way."

IMO, it's the same with equality. There is no WAY to equality. Equality comes when you treat people equally. You don't need a path to that; you just do it. Emphasizing differences is contrary to achieving equality.

Just checked the mail and I'm soooo excited. I got my tax rebate check, all $300 of it. Which, as I said before, is a whopping point seven five percent of the income tax I paid this year. I'm just beside myself with enthusiasm. It's wonderful that Uncle Sam is giving me back my money to spend as I please. What shall I buy? Oh, the possibilities!

Chump change.

Maybe that's revolution #4.

Well since #1 was in the 19th century, and #2 in the 20th, and the author was pushing #3 for the 21st does that mean we will have to wait until after 2100??

But then again I don't really expect racial hatred and tension to disappear during my lifetime. I hope it will fade a bit but its too big of thing to go away quickly and completly.
