too long ago. Many of us were there. I didn't play in the 60's, I was growing up at that time, but I was there. All the way to women getting a few rights in the 70's. I was lucky. The laws were being passed a couple years ahead of me, to ALLOW a few rights. Like not needing my fathers signature because I was not married.

We have been here before. There are way more of us.
