My kids were talking to me about slavery and racism the other day, and were asking how anyone could allow or participate in it. I talked to them about my belief that how perception changes and that, while good people were always against it, others that were not necessarily evil were swayed by the common beliefs and practices of the day. It made me start to wonder what my grandchildren will look back at and wonder about us in regards to what we did and allowed as a society. The easy answers may be the treatment of homosexuals or transgendered people, or perhaps a big swing will occur and abortion will be looked at differently. But, after a bit of thought, I came to the conclusion it will probably be health care. My friends from socialist countries have expressed disbelief that our country would let people die if they can not afford the health care needed. Say what you will, but I believe we will have socialized care before long. At some point, people will be come used to it. Then, they will ask our generation, "did you really let poor people die because they had no insurance?" The easy answer that it was too expensive will not work, as they will be used to it working and being affordable. I am generally pretty conservative, but want to be on the right side of this. Any thoughts?
