The were not alone, scientists across the globe participated, including a 97 year old Nobel Laureate, Eddie Fischer, 97, 1992 winner of Nobel prize in Medicine, as saying "Damn right I'm in this".
Somewhere, someday, truth will out. People will stop believing everything that comes out of a demagogue's mouth, and discover critical thinking. We'll stop believing that skin color makes us different, that sex determines anything except who can bear a child. Someday. I won't be there, but some of you younger ones might. Maybe, just maybe. If you work harder and smarter than we did.
Cheers
And they should be relentless in opposing racism, sexism, ethnocentrism and the inequality bred by the economic divide where so few control so much wealth.

ReplyDeleteThis coming generation is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you.

Delete45 appeals to far too many of the peasants. His critiques of science, Latinos, etc etc have them cheering. They still believe in their own exceptionalism. It is so frightening. Fascism is here to stay. Good on your daughters.
