Ehh, you win some you lose some. If you look throughout history, our rights and needs are constantly defended. You could look at that as progress, or you could look at it as a constant rebuffing of powerful forces trying to change the direction of the country. It’s a matter of perspective. Personally i’ve found judging social progress to be a rather fruitless task in a general sense; only when we try to solve specific problems are there clear cut victories and losses.
