I have been a Democrat my entire life...

39. Dr. King opined that the long arc of history bends toward justice.

We are winning three battles that I didn't see us winning during my lifetime. Those battles involve Gay rights, immigrant inclusion and the demographic battle for voters of the future.

Women's economic and reproductive freedom and worker wages are more difficult nuts to crack, but in time the arc toward justice will produce right and fair results. Will that happen soon? I think higher wages for low paid workers is upon us and will happen within two years. Old resistance like Walmart will fold and join the parade offering higher hourly pay and benefits that are fair to it's workers. I don't share your feeling on wages, they will come up for lower paid workers and we will get better as a society because of that. A younger class of business people is growing, that class believes in economic fairness and who don't believe in scratching out every buck possible, at the expense of all that get in the way of that goal. The group of good business people is smaller than the bastard group, but the former is growing rapidly, they will force the issue of economic fairness with the bastard group and will win that fight, history is with the good people.

Women's economic freedom and reproductive rights will take longer to win. But if all of us recognize the importance of replacing soon to retire or die Supreme Court Justices with people that interpret the Constitution as the organic document that the founders intended it to be, then women will get full freedom in society and make their own personal decisions without interference from government.
