And the righteous anger of the young poured from the skies...

20. While I don't think I disagree with much you said, I have some questions.

You say "We screwed up big time." "...we might find ourselves staring at Trump." "we consumed all of the world's best resources"

And yet you then say that the collective "we" can't take credit for the Civil Rights movement or Environmental regulations, etc. - because it was "what other people did".

What can we take credit for? Or was our contributions and time just useless?

You seem OK with the collective "we" taking all the blame, yet fail to allow the collective "we" to take some credit.

If the collective "we" can't take credit for the advances in the culture, who does get the credit? The few at the top of the media circus of the time? One man? Several people?

I marched. I wrote. I held signs and put myself out there, among other things. Sure, I did not get shot, give a speech or write a book, but I felt I was part of the collective "we the people". I damn sure confronted Nixon at the Bayfront Center in St Petersburg after a speech he gave. He actually acknowledged my friends and I with our simple anti-war message as we were standing in his way as he exited. My point being that many people did as I did and supported the quest for change.

That is all my questions...I appreciate your thoughtful and reasoned response.

We are all one. Love is the answer.
