I was in a bit of a funk about the Indiana primary returns, but Mike Gold has a nice spin on it in his ComicMix column this week. I had read of the Klan's dominance in this state in the 1920s, and it's good to realize some progress is being made with Obama getting 49% of the primary vote, coming within a percentage point of Hillary. Going back to the Gold column, the comments are noteworthy as well, especially Vinnie Bartilucci's: "if you give credit to the progress made in an area, some people will assume that's enough, and slack off." Also of note is Michael Price's: "A theater-operator uncle of mine in Northwest Texas put an end to segregated moviegoing at his picture palaces during the 1950s, defying corporate headquarters in Dallas until the improved box-office returns from Amarillo, Texas, caused the brass to see things in a new light." As with everything else, opinions will change if for no other reason than those in power will realize they're losing support and/or money if they continue to hold their never-swaying opinions, and then all of a sudden they've "reconsidered".
