No, I read your article quite carefully. I'm going to remind you of some words from Martin Luther King concerning our rights. "We want them all. We want them here, and we want them now." We don't need to "celebrate" half-way measures. We should all be aghast and angry that other people still get to decide how many rights other people should have while insisting that we thank them. You recall that Dr. King also wrote a moving essay called "Why we Can't Wait." How long ago did he write that? Not only are we still waiting, but we also actually have to backtrack to win the rights we've so recently lost. I hope you have an appropriately celebratory Fourth.
