I hope I can explain it to my granddaughters when they are old enough to figure it out.. once they've acquired the full breath of the history of the past 5 decades. Our opportunities were limited, but they did exist and we squandered it with assumptions that this matter was settled, when we surely should have understood it truly wasn't.
