Reading about or listening to the talking heads on July 4 is a dizzying spectacle. From the latest on January 6 to fighting in Ukraine to another example of police brutality, the news is like the iconic Billy Joel song on steroids.
Most of us will celebrate the July 4th holiday by attending local parades, consuming way too many barbeque offerings and finishing the day with fireworks. There is certainly nothing wrong with such traditional ways to mark another year of independence. Hopefully we will all pause for a few minutes and think about the reasons for the commemoration of Thomas Jefferson's magnum opus. Let's all try to celebrate what binds us together rather than what divides us.
