Is it our country or My Country?

Covid, Taxes, School Choice, Old Symbols. They divide and they combine. We look at those words and choose what side we are on. We look at others and decide what side they are on. It is possible to engage with the other side and still stay connected but by this time in late September of 2021, it seems that it is harder to do than one would hope for.

Was it always that way? Probably yes. Is it easier to stay in our own belief group now that technology has made it easier to find countless other souls that look like us? Probably yes. Is there a easy solution to going back to the days of getting along anyway? Most likely not. We were so disconnected before the telephone, radio, television and the internet were created. Maybe we were less divided before we were became so conneted.
