As much as we d like to think that we re doing everything right, right now, we re not. Not totally.
In a century or so, the folks who ve taken our place here on the shore of Lake Michigan (assuming that we re not messing up so badly that there s not still a Lake Michigan) will recognize our failings.
They ll wonder how we could have been so ignorant and careless. Or worse, so craven. They’ll attempt to set things right. And, with the benefit of history s rearview mirror, they ll decide the fate of any monuments to false heroes or disastrous causes we may have left behind.
