Being in my late 60s, I well remember forty to fifty years ago when people (I being one of them) took to the streets, were beaten, jailed, attacked by police dogs, hit with fire cannons, and some even murdered in a struggle to bring about both racial and gender equality in the United States of America.

Now we have an award where only one gender can qualify... and the vast majority of the community, made up of twenty to thirty-five year olds, supports it.

Sigh.

Such progress we've made.

So much sacrifice, by so many, for so long, for (obviously) so little.

Cry, the beloved country.
