​STOP, 
LOOK, LISTEN! by Kathy Sherretts

Self-Evident

I've always felt a little conflicted about the 4th of July. The political right seemed to have staked out the patriotic high ground several years ago, leaving no room for people like me: solid citizen, reasonably informed, generally appreciative.
Also, serenely clueless. It turns out that whole communities in the US have been shut out of a lot of benefits and protections that I enjoy, and that the whole system is now kind of precarious for us all.
It took Donald Trump to make me patriotic.
(Enjoy the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence by The Fifth Dimension)
Happy Fourth of July!
