That is a positive thing. But we are sick all the time, and we don't know it. For example, a majority of Americans don't think that this country suffers from serious discrimination problems. Yet African-Americans still face racial profiling and discrimination when they enter a shopping mall, apply for a home loan, or drive home from work. Gays and lesbians still face outright homophobia and hostility daily.
Women still receive lower wages and less venture-capital funding than their male counterparts.
Forty million Americans go to bed hungry every night. We don't often hear about those people on network television because America likes to pretend that they don't exist. As a result, a huge population feels unimportant and unwanted. We must work to become a more inclusive nation. The Internet has the potential to be a true equalizer among races, sexes, and ages.
