Helene V. - New York, NY

A progressive is everything we have been brought up to believe in. Progress in: education, health care, the environment, AIDS prevention, women's rights for equal pay and control over their lives, right to free speech and intellectual freedom, our children having more freedom than we do, science and the arts. Who wouldn't want to be a progressive (a regressive?)? Human beings' 'reach should exceed our grasp'. Our goal should be to make the world we were given a better place, to help and assist our fellow beings, to make the Earth a better place with our individual contributions.
