I awoke this 4th of July to find the United States of America anything but united. I found our leaders promoting ideas distinctly un-American in my youth. I heard business leaders speaking derisively of citizens as apparently the unwashed are no longer just overseas.

When the system hits its boiling point, will relationships be so fractured that people lose sight of each other's humanity? I pray not...
