I think the saddest part of all is that things have changed so little in such a long period of time. The surface might be different but the attitudes remain. Ah well.
That's why I am so pleased with and proud of Clark. Because he could have chosen to act/react like he does now (Smallville 2005) kind of fair, mostly judgmental; kind of open minded, very quick to condemn - really striving to be "normal" and subsume his alien-ness, his difference, with quick adherence to the norms. 2005!Clark will kind of give you a chance until something butts up against what's right, by current society norms (more Lex then Alicia, but similarly), without really listen for an explanation.
I think this story is getting me to give the most detailed feedback I ever have. Thanks.
