4/ Every generation, including ours, has contained both elements, and every generation has made its choice. Slave owners v. Abolitionists, male surpramists v. Suffragettes, segregationists v. civil rights movement. It's simply our turn. The aristocratic archetype has returned.

5/ It's important to remember we're not up against anything worse than other generations had to deal with. The point is that they did it. They pushed back on oppression and injustice and so can we. Let's not be the first generation of Americans to wimp out on doing that job.
