This post will probably piss some people off, but I am sort of known for that, so here goes.

I am saddled with the feeling that the loss in California is being over-hyped by our side. I am also bothered by a nagging feeling that people have forgotten that many other states have gone through the same thing already.

While I understand that rights were taken away in this case, and that is a significant difference, I am not feeling the emotion of anger or sadness that many on this blog and many others are expressing.

Let me explain.

The author makes a valid point.

We must learn from what we have not yet accomplished and figure out how we accomplish it another way. We must stop, step back for a moment, and do a deep analysis on now we progress from here. The responsibility for our civil rights lie with none other than ourselves, and if we don't look in the mirror instead of point a finger, we will continue to repeat the cycle.

Maybe we need our own Selma match.  Or a march on Washington.
