(8,311 posts)Say that when we have went from just a few states that allow MMJ to having two allowing it for recreational use legally.
Say that when ColoradoCare is on this year's ballot, allowing Colorado to pilot a single payer system very similar to Bernie's -- with the 2017 PPACA "state innovation waiver" that's set to go.
On edit: my very Progressive mother told me, when I turned 12 in 1992, that she would love me no matter who I loved, but that for my own sake she hoped I was straight because of the stigma and legal difficulties -- that I wouldn't be able to get married, have/adopt kids, etc. That she would always love me, she just didn't want to see her child be discriminated against and suffer.
Now, all a parent really has to say is "I'll love you no matter what."
Yes, incremental progress is progress.
