By Rev. Dr. R. M. Anderson | Cave News Times – Mind Fuel “When knowledge was cherished, humanity thrived. When it was feared, it crumbled.” Civilizations don’t fall overnight.

If science fiction teaches us anything, is that problems dont just go away.

Racism, sexism, transphobia,homophobia, war, poverty and so on are issues that dont just vanish once a law gets signed and one, two or three breakthroughs are made in terms of improving societal awareness and acceptance.

The fight for equality, justice, peace, truth and progress is a never ending one which will continue long after you and I all die.

Keep fighting for a better tomorrow, keep fighting for your fellow man, keep fighting to secure the future for generations to follow. For if we want humanity to survive and prevail we all must never tire to strive to see that it does so. In whatever way we can be that through political action, direct action, art, books, music, demonstration you name it.

There is no such thing as a perfect time in history.

Nuclear weapons still pose a danger to us all.
