I see it, mostly with younger people, this attitude, that "it will blow over". I can kind of understand it. It is similar to the complacency among some women, again, mostly younger, in regard to Roe V. Wade. The upside, is it has lit a fire under a number of peoples' asses. The downside? I don't know how capable our communities and national/regional organizations are and if they are going to be able to handle it.
