Washington will certainly oppose this revolution, this evolving consciousness of the self and do all it can to the return of the old conservative mode of the 19th century. however time has ruled out the success of Washington and has granted the south its independence but i fear, battles, corruption, distortion and the main media intervention will hamper humans evolution towards enlightenment.
