27. Uhh, No, They Are Not Winning, This is a REACTIONARY Decision Because They KNOW They Are LOSING

In the long run, progress ALWAYS wins. They know this so they are trying to rig the game and halt progress. They will fail.

Look at history.

100 years ago, where were we? No civil rights, no unions, no child labor laws, no social programs etc.

Progress always wins in the long run. Civilizations progress and build on past progress. Yes, civilizations crumble and fall, but then new one's are built on top of the old and progress continues.

The USSC decision is a bad one, it is a step in the wrong direction. But it is only one step back in the grand scheme.

"The moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice."

MLK was not a naive man, and I firmly believe in the truth of these words.
