Now, don't take that as to mean I am comparing myself to MLK, I'm not in the sense that it might seem. What I am trying to get across is that the common group think of his time was completely different than his "reality". Thankfully, enough people were able to open their minds (not by themselves mind you....someone else had to do it and then they followed along).
And let's not even get into the whole "the world is flat", "the earth is the center of the universe", "blood letting using leaches is a cure for sickness", "women and minorities are not as smart as white men and therefore should not to be allowed in schools or to vote" and a host of other horseshit that has been proven to be completely unrealistic by "pie in the sky'ers" like you are labeling me.
In closing, there are no absolutes. There are things that we have all agreed to be truths at that moment in time, but they are anything but absolute and reality is not something that we can all agree on.
The US border is something that is defined at this point in time. But time has a funny way of changing definitions. Just ask President Bush about the the absoluteness of our border under the NAU plan.
I'll see you on the other side....once enough people have done the thinking for you and tell you what the world looks like at that point in time.
