"We the People..."

We often hear of citizens...from various political persuasions, speak of "taking our country back." Back to where? The only way we can go back to the past would be by time-travel...and that's not happening. (At least not anytime soon.)

So we might as well accept that we are all in this together. This is the greatest democracy in the history of the earth.

It's like a family. We may want to disavow a sibling, an aunt, a cousin, or any other relative. However, they are still our family. We can't change the DNA or the ties that bind us.

It's OUR country and OUR government. We elect representatives (and maybe we need to pay more attention to whom we send to office) however, the onus is on us to keep this democracy going. To thrive and to prosper. To lead the world. To be inclusive so that ALL of our talent is recognized. And...yeah it's a cliche but really important...to leave a better (and safer) world for our children!

OUR COUNTRY...OUR GOVERNMENT!
