The three big news items that have come out of three major regions/countries in the past couple of days:
US Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage
Dozens killed in terror attacks in Tunisia, Kuwait and Paris
China organizes beer festival pre-Ramzan
Much as many of us hate America as the great Satan, their law has given more freedom to a minority - in this case, LGBT community. Meanwhile, extremists in Middle East and elsewhere are busy killing other people for being of the wrong faith or the wrong denomination of the right faith. Elsewhere, the state is using its might to organize an event that looks like a deliberate slight to a religious minority. I think this pretty much sums up everything we need to know about what direction each society is headed in. This probably also explains why people choose to move from one set of countries to another.
Here's hoping to a more plural and tolerant world, where people can live together with their differences, without the urge to impose their own (religious or communist-atheistic) values on others.
