The recent upheaval over the removal of Confederate statues is a prime example. There are many things that bring us together, but this conflict shows the issues which are used to get us rowing in different directions. And what happens when two people row in different directions in the same boat? It turns in circles and goes nowhere.
Our president may not be the best manager, but he’s right about congress. Healthcare doesn’t benefit the American people, but benefits constituencies and special interests instead. The divisiveness in America is driven by demagogues who propose solutions which work at the expense of others.
We’re not united, and until we learn to Row the Boat together, we’re going to remain divided and angry. It’s time we work together for a brighter future.
