Exactly. It's only been, what, 10,000 years since we stepped from our caves and into "civilized" society? Heck, we don't even consider the world 100 years ago as being civilized, so how civil are we, really? That concept is subject to the ebb and flow of evolution.

Sadly, instead of everybody having a say, as has been the norm that paved the way to getting to a point where we've been able to bring civil rights to the forefront of discussion, instead we see an elite few are pruning discussion as they see fit. They are trying to shape the social landscape, but they won't be successful. They only remove what they hear but they can't remove what we say, because truth is far more boisterous than compelled speech.
