Hollywood and dystopian novels have shown us a possible future.

Ones that we're now primed to expect.

Ones that are still highly unlikely. Ones that would take decades to create.

That won't stop them from happening.

But it gives us time.

Time to get over the shock. (And please, take as much time as you need.) But time to fight this the right way. Time to work toward a better world. Time to /gently/ steer the hearts of your neighbor. Time to run for town council. Time to teach.
