Memorial Day thought

[rmd]

It's been nearly 150 years since we started having Memorial Day (aka "Decoration Day") to honor the military who died in the Civil War (later expanded to all fallen military once we had a few more wars with lots of battle deaths). Eventually, the Civil War will stop being a scar on this country's psyche, but I think it's going to take at least a couple more generations.

The current federalism/rights thing that leapt to my mind was gay marriage. Though voters' rights is arguably much bigger and more important.
