Yes, I do think so, sure, in the long term, the sun always sets and night always falls. The periods of history when democracy, free-thinking, freedom of religion, freedom for women to be persons rather than baby-makers...all of these are a blip in the span of history. How many time periods can you think of when women were free? Post-Revolution France, post-Revolution America, post-1972 America and Europe, yech, there really aren't very many.

It is a sad fact that by definition half of all people are not as intelligent as the average. And stupid people hate and fear what they don't understand, which is intelligent people.

In the end, sure, the side of good, light, justice, and freedom is doomed to lose. How long did the Roman Republic last compared to the Roman Empire?

We are only responsible for trying to weed-whack our little area of the jungle. That's all we can do. I believe we will see pretty much a totalitarian state in the U.S. in our lifetime but you struggle for what is right, not for what you think you can win to look good in the history books.

Be strong. We've all had the same thought, and we continue the struggle anyway. If you chop out a year or a decade of freedom for someone who would otherwise never taste it, you have accomplished something meaningful. The women who went before me may feel that they struggled in vain and the cause is lost, but the fact is, they helped ME and they helped countless others of my generation, and even if they never know the good they did, they did it.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
