Thank you...

...for not giving up hope simply because things seem bleak right now, my friend. I have seen some real signs of progress lately, and though our emancipation, and that of the youths we love and respect, will NOT come overnight, a hundred years from now will be a much different story. Though we may see only very limited progress in our lifetimes is NO excuse to give up trying to create a better world for MAA's and youths who will come after us. The rule of history is change, and there is no reason to believe that our situation will be an exception to that rule. Thank you again for speaking up and countering the cynical resignation to our current plight that (surprisingly to me) Luka is spreading around.
