Excellent article as usual. I do enjoy your critical thinking, analysis, and comparison. I don't happen to think much will change until we dismantle policies that keep us imprisoned under a hierarchy designed to keep us separate in the United States. We can talk until we're blue in the face and apply band aids to deep wounds where surgery is needed to extract poison flowing through the system, touching every component of our existence. That's centuries of wrongness in biblical proportions set in stone.
