Tears for the Divided States of America

0.0 x 0.0

Our country has become so fragmented, with state-against-state, neighbor-against-neighbor, and the current Supreme Court against the prior Supreme Courts. So many people take their firm political stance with an “I’m right and you’re wrong” attitude without an appreciation for the points-of-view of others. What was once the United States has become the Divided States, represented by the red-and-black dotted grid separating the 50 teardrops. Has the blue color in our flag (representing vigilance, perseverance and justice) faded as judicial decisions vary from time-to-time depending on the political mood of the court in overturning legal precedents? Do we cry for our country? Do we do anything else to be more kind, respectful and compassionate of one another?
