The “SHIP OF STATE” is in rough waters these days.
This noble experiment we call DEMOCRACY has been there before.
Many times actually.
Through many wars and economic upheavals, She always re-emerges better than ever.
Despite all its faults and shortcomings, we want to govern ourselves.
We have seen the evils of dictatorships around the world and it’s not for us.
So, we all must hold onto both sides of the boat.
I have been in a large sailing vessel tossed around in what seemed to be a relentless, unforgiving storm at sea.
Like today’s events, we didn’t know how and when it would end.
But, it did and this will end too and we will emerge wiser and stronger.
I don’t know if we really appreciated our DEMOCRACY enough until we were in danger of losing it.
Let’s do what I did then.
HOLD ON!
If not today, when?
