Consider This America

So many ugly things are happening all around us. Hatred of our fellow Americans is at an all-time high. I don’t understand why. What happened? Yes, I’m an advocate for, why can’t we all just get along? Yes, we’ll all different, but, we’re all the same, too.

We’re all humans, we’re all Americans, whether you support the current administration or not.

Various tragedies have been happening everywhere, floods in the south, fires in the west, tornadoes in the central part of the country. But, if you watch the aftermath of these horrible events you’ll see just how GREAT Americans are. Americans, man woman, black, white, Republican Democrat, coming together for the greater good – to help our fellow Americans, fellow humans.

Let’s stop tearing each other apart over our differences. Let’s stop destroying history. Let’s stop tearing down monuments.

Let’s stop trying to forget and start REMEMBERING. And remember why events in history happened and heed the lessons associated with them.

Today, more so than a lot of other days, we should all REMEMBER history and be proud to be Americans.

Here’s a very poignant and timely reminder of a time when America was at it’s lowest and yet we all – ALL OF US – no matter who we are or where we came from, came together for the greater good.

Nobody at that scene that day cared what color your skin was or what political or religious affiliation you associated with, whether your were gay or straight. It was pure and simple, helping our brothers. Let’s keep doing that people.

That’s it for today folks. I’m off my soapbox, but I do ask that you please take a moment today to remember something about the history of our great country, be it good or, most likely, bad. And if you’re one of my readers from another country, take a moment to remember an important event in your history. History is not politically correct. History is ugly. History wasn’t fair. But, history happened and history serves as a reminder that we should all be proud that despite all of our differences, we are all the same.

Word of the day: Dosimeter

Fun fact about me: Like probably every single American, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about that plane flying into those towers.
