I am always happily amazed when the next generation grows in a slightly new environment, and sees a horizon that we do not. Keep it up! So will we. :-) It is so attractive to pursue the quick solution, (and be arrogant in our own knowledge) but the quick solution is rarely the most fulsome.

Just to broaden the idea of your post a bit, this whole campaign season was unthinkable not so long ago. Certainly when I was a kid, the idea that the Democratic party nomination would come down to a woman and a man with a black Kenyan father, and with the Republicans running a candidate with a woman running-mate, would have been too outlandish even for a TV show. As for Africa...it's going to be a slow, hard slog. (I'm thinking here of the Americas, where it's taken about 500 years to rebuild the population to pre-Columbian levels, and there are still very, very few Indian leaders. But, like The Beatles say, it's getting better, a little better all the time.) Yes, the slow lane definitely has its advantages.
