I am optimistic that some good, not all we want, but some progress can be made with Iran. I also hope that we will see more tolerance from the Catholic Church toward our LGBT brothers and sisters.

I am reminded of the early years of the civil rights movement. Here in GA, progress was often made in baby steps. Many liberals screamed that it was too slow, but sometimes we have to be patient. People who had believed for their entire life that AAs were inferior were simply not going to change overnight. I considered it a major victory when people would listen respectfully instead of shouting their venom at those of us working for change.
