There are two main ways of thinking about controversial subjects.

1. In a thimble.

2. In a swimming pool.

The first tends to be shortsided, PC-correct, "in the moment" and usually without a lot of deep reflective thought. The second is much more expansive, meditated and takes into account the future.

So, where is the photo taking us into the future? That's the question of this thread.

We know humans follow trends and trends in turn shape the fabric of society if they get deeply entrenched. Since this issue becoming one of law or not stands to be permanent, shouldn't we be thinking about where this trend will take us as the years and decades peel away from this pivotal point in time? This crux of our decision-making. How does that photo make you want to decide for future generations?

I know, I know...I found it hard to even look at too, much less participate in a thread on the topic. I remember thinking how happy I was when that first page turned over and no longer did I have to view it to make a comment.

You can guess how I voted. But I'm not everyone else. That's the numbers I'm looking for: how everyone else honestly feels about it. It's an anonymous poll after all..

Do not give a damn.

I'm sort of keeping track of the number of people who have this answer..because frankly I don't believe it. It's very hard to believe that someone could distance themself that callously from the fate of that child. Thanks for voting though.
