The question here I think is how we change current legislation such that we stop missing these kinds of opportunities right now and in the future. As somebody who is not extremely politically active, I wonder how these types of large-scale, value-based changes will be made and how we, as the voting population and the upcoming generation of politicians, can affect change that we will be able to see in our lifetimes.
