We haven't needed the National Guard, for instance. There has been a fair amount of talking and sign waving, but that's about it.
Thank goodness!

I give you the fb support page for Kim Davis...wrapped in the flag. Do they not understand the irony?
I guess not, since they are attempting to subvert the Constitution of the United States.

(35,805 posts)Corporations, educational institutions, and governments highly value people who can look at a given situation, factor in the social and other forces (such as natural or biological), and make an intelligent guess as to where it's headed. Those people are called futurists.
A well-known (and highly paid) futurist is Faith Popcorn. See http://www.faithpopcorn.com

I must say once total equality came for the gay community it came fast and that's great. It's history I'm very happy to live in.
