I saw this quote from Molly Ivins recently which seemed to speak to me, “I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.” We seem to be in a conflicted period marked by dissent and jingoistic jargon and a bastardized version of religion that seems more focused on Nationalistic principles $1,475,000 than altruistic values. We are acting poorly and behaving badly towards others because we have bought into the fear that is being peddled to us. Whatever is driving this fear; fear of being left behind, being hurt, or something yet unnamed, it is within our power to control our own behavior. We must say, “enough.” We are at our best when we listen and collaborate to find solutions to the many nuanced issues we face as an advanced society.
