Today marks the 236^th anniversary of the signingof the Declaration of Independence. It’s a day to celebrate American democracy.To that end I share a quote from the man often referred to as the father of our country.
“Party disputes and personal quarrels are the great businessof the day, while the great and accumulated debt, ruined finances, depreciatedmoney and want of credit were postponed from day to day, from week to week, asif our affairs wore the most promising aspect.”
Although that was written by George Washington in 1778 during the Revolutionary War, it sounds very familiar today. For those wholament that modern politics in Americahas denigrated into placing personal agendas over the national good, you should takeheart that this is something that has plagued our democracy from the git go.
Here’s hoping everyone can toss aside politics for the day,and celebrate the fact that even after 236 years of this stuff, our country endures in spite of ourselves.
