Why do we, myself included, still make this statement??? I was reading it and clicked to me that the type of thinking that we're discussing was just as wrong in 1914 as it is in 2014. It was accepted much more widely then, but so was slavery in 1814. That didn't make slavery right then either. The problem isn't that people haven't gotten with the times, it is that they haven't gotten the message at all.

That rant aside, there are really two ways to deal with this:
1. The court of public opinion - go to the news with it. or
2. The court - a decent law student could probably handle the case
