This Fourth of July, let's see if we can keep our democracy
The lesson of Independence Day is that rights are more important than governments. Things go wrong when governments don't respect these rights and when the government drops the ball in deference to tyranny.
The Civil War happened because the tyranny of the slave power, which punished or killed abolitionists within its borders, went unchecked.
COVID spread because the symptoms which people confused with just a cold or just allergies are precursors to the serious illness (with a break in between for the virus to grow before the body fights back).
The powers that be in the White House, knowing that Trump was insane, did not have the courage to remove him. I don't blame Trump. It is Pence's sin. He had promised Melania he would not ever remove him. That should have been his first clue.
People who can act, must act. Don't expect the peasantry to do it - they vote for people like Trump.
