It Takes Two To Tango

The struggle for rights often becomes defined, unfortunately, by the excesses of a minority fringe within whatever group is fighting for equality and an end to prejudice. The clamor for attention on the part of a few, be it gays, women, or ethnic groups, tends to obscure continuing injustices and ends up creating animosity that is more detrimental than helpful. But where there's smoke there's fire. Prejudice and injustice persist. I'm pleased that we finally have a viable woman candidate for president in this country. Whatever one thinks of her as a politician and potential world leader, pro or con, people are taking Hillary Clinton's candidacy seriously. We will have grown up as a nation when the pundits no longer have to ask whether "America is ready to elect a woman president."
