Just not 'old' in a recent, American definition. But I wholeheartedly agree with the intent and spirit of your post, and it's something I've been watching more and more people slowly start to wake up to. It's a beautiful thing, even if it is somewhat unfortunate it has taken so long on so many things, and knowing that it will still be years until it truly comes to fruition. But I suppose that is the curse of humans, and also the strength: by knowing we are leaving things behind, it SHOULD compel us to do better, and often does. Unfortunately, the ones it doesn't work on are typically very powerful.

For now.
