We
are
here
to
make
a
better
world.
No
amount
of
rationalization
or
blaming
can
preempt
the
moment
of
choice
each
of
us
brings
to
our
situation
here
on
this
planet.
The
lesson
of
the
60's
is
that
people
who
cared
enough
to
do
right
could
change
history.
We
didn't
end
racism
but
we
ended
legal
segregation.
We
ended
the
idea
that
you
could
send
half-a-million
soldiers
around
the
world
to
fight
a
war
that
people
do
not
support.
We
ended
the
idea
that
women
are
second-class
citizens.
We
made
the
environment
an
issue
that
couldn't
be
avoided.
The
big
battles
that
we
won
cannot
be
reversed.
We
were
young,
self-righteous,
reckless,
hypocritical,
brave,silly,
headstrong
and
scared
half
to
death.
