We are NOT in any enlightened age as the conservatives still "run things" with their control of the House...The US officially made a shift to the Left during this last election, as the majority of this Country voted for Barack Obama, for the second time. Liberals and Progressives are considered to be the "enlightened ones", so it stands to reason that America has officially stepped into the "Enlightened Age". In essence, we have become an (or the?) enlightened society, hence the name of this thread. It's now up to the shepherds of enlightenment to overcome what little opposition they have left, and guide this country to Utopia. The question is, how long will it take?
And, in a great many respects, our Mr Obama is a conservative !
Utopia is such a relative thing, compared to 1950, for many, we do have an utopia.
And, slowly but surely, I think we are approaching this state - but this chase will go on forever, in my opinion.
