Black Box Report

As much as some screamers on the fringe would like you to believe, America is becoming more tolerant. Whether it's who marries whom, or who can become parents or what jobs women can handle - the public seems ahead of a lot of the ugly discourse.

For what it's worth, I’ve got a theory as to why. First off, people are exposed to a great deal more than a generation ago, and the taboo of the unknown isn't so scary when you see it with your own two eyes. But secondly, and even more important to me is that we are all so busy. We live in a world and a time where there aren't enough hours in a day to manage our own lives without the added challenge of playing moral majority over everyone else. I can't fathom the concept of obsessing over my neighbors’ sex lives let alone caring about their colors of sexual preferences. For all the people who grip with white knuckles to the barrier of same sex marriage - listen, it's coming, and it's going to happen sooner than later.

For the population who still believes people can’t live and let live, I won't try and change your mind. I only wish you'd give me all that free time - I could use it.
