We only seem more divided because more people than ever have a means to express their viewpoints. I am sure a select few would not mind sending gay folks back to the closet, blacks back to the rear of the bus, and women back to the kitchen and laundry rooms.
We can than shut down the internet and talk radio, and tune in at 6pm every night so Walker Cronkite can tell us what to think parroting in visual form what white males running the local newspapers told us to think with delivery of the morning edition.
Be careful what you wish for...
Amazing how informative clichés can be.
Real Life is different, it confuses everything. The real "select few" are the intellectual elites who know best how we ought to be, you know, those progressive liberals who jet set around the world attending UN confabs:

The current agenda 21:
get the blacks back into the fields, the Chinese back into the laundry rooms, the rednecks to back of the bus, the Christians back into the closet, women on the couch watching daytime soaps, Oprah, and Judge Judy.
shut down politically unacceptable opinions everywhere, capture the internet into a data base for identifying speech criminals, and targeting re-education candidates.
In the olden days, thought police had to work off minimal evidence and were limited to charges of treason. Now we have a complete range of services, with virtually unlimited evidence available, and we still have the political equivalents of the church lady concerned about noncompliants everywhere, on every issue
The goal of Agenda 21 is to create local communities worldwide abiding by good principles, involved in acceptable activities, thinking all the right things, working for the right people, living on sustainable, near-zero resources with rationed medical care, and keeping out of the King's Forest..
Hell yeah, parroting talking heads on the nightly news who all read the same scripts and smile the same way, dressed in the same suits, on the same TV production sets, what the very very rich want us to say or read.
Be careful what you do, think, say, eat, or tolerate. Politically acceptable behavior is now defined globally, and everything you do is collected in the database for law enforcement. It's not just hope or change, it's sustainable management.
