Smedley... I just learned that really ought to use a spell checker before posting anything ;-)

But seriously, in answer to your question, I think many will be wiser for all sorts of reasons, good and bad. I personally have learned a great deal on this thread and have been actually quite thrilled to see so much positive thought and support for human rights as a whole. That can only be good for the future, yes?

Yes, indeed, I think much good has come from this thread, far more than bad. There is a lot to be optmistic about when you look deeper. No room for complacency though is there? Ever?
