Fight For Your Right
While it's true that achievements would feel worthless if they were effortless to achieve, are there goals you are chasing (or goals you've achieved) that you wish had been easier? How about something that should be harder to achieve than it is?

Public office for the latter query  Regarding the former, the graveyard shift was something I'd fought for for months, which is what made its abolishment a couple years back most galling. Argh, two steps forward, three steps back. |

I look at a lot of people who are terrible parents and I thinking having kids should be harder. Heh. But I have to say that only partially seriously because taking away someone's reproductive rights and regulating their ability to have children seems like it'd be a serious human rights violation. It's just that parenting is so important, and so many people do it so poorly and screw up their kids, who have rights too. Some civil rights issues "should" be easier in my opinion. People shouldn't have to be denied their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness because of aspects of their lives they can't control. It should be easier to convince government yahoos that you're a person deserving of equal rights even though you're a woman, a person of color, a person of a non-mainstream religion, or a person of an alternative sexuality, and yet all of these groups have been denied equal treatment in my country based on the perception that they were not full citizens. Oh, and it should be harder to make a webcomic. These days any yahoo on the Internet can do it.  |

What's interesting is that only property owners were allowed to vote when the US forefathers began the country. So all these tea partying renters would be out of luck should they "return to the way things were." What kinda saddens me is that there are people for whom reproduction is a goal that eludes them, while there are others who crank out loads of water head cabbages in order to keep to some patriarchal dogma. And when equal rights equal "special" rights, I know I'm dealing with denizens of the Twilight Zone. And not that area wherein a mormon vampire resides.
