It seems that once one good outcome of advocacy is achieved another is waiting to be represented. The never ending illogical attacks on intellectualism is here to stay for now. That is why the battle to continue fighting is so important. If within our very fiber we know that what is right and good is under attack then it is our right and our duty to battle on it's behalf. Equality, justice and ethical process should be our rallying cry regardless of the policy we are defending. The simple equation here is easy, if anything works to deny rights to some or most that others continue to have then we must work to oppose that which does not come to the threshold of equality. Enlightened civilization is founded upon the idea that all among a group who are members of the civilized society have the same opportunities that anyone else would have. We don't have that here in America, in part, because of economic distinctions, so some effort to alleviate that obstruction to equality must be devised. Those who have economic success surely deserve the credit for their ability but even wealth should not separate any of us from the rights and privileges our society produces. I am talking about opportunities here, which allow for all of us to start from the same point as any other. Often those who have had privileged beginnings, lose sight of what it is really like for those who have not and then begin to condescend as an acceptable behavior. The trap of this is that we are not all inclusive and so many barriers some face are not even known by others. So fighting the good intellectual fight to restore and increase options for equality, justice and ethical processes will be the hard work we must all never relent our efforts toward.
