2. Why did Ronald Reagan sleep while One Million or so die from AIDS before he woke up?

Why did Lincoln free the slaves?

Why did it take 100 years from Lincoln til LBJ signed the voting rights acts?

Why did Hitler kill 6 million Jews solely because they were Jews (and tens of millions others for who they were, NOT TO FORGET Hitler killed the Gays too.

Why did FDR had to hide he was handicapped from the public?

WHY?
Because Thomas Jefferson said (what everyone thought he said was ALL ARE CREATED EQUAL)
yet what Jefferson meant was only men like Jefferson were equal. Everyone else had no rights.

Why?
Because this is 2013 and its way time that every minority has equal rights.

It is why social issues are far more important than other issues.

Freedom from racism, sexism, homophobia, religion differences(or no religion at all) are just
basic equality rights. We are all WE.
