The 4th of July is my favorite holiday because we celebrate having won our freedom after a long and difficult war with people who we now consider our closest allies. It’s important to remember that compromise is generally a better option that fighting. We may not get everything we want, but if everyone gets most of what they want, collectively we might not have to deal with bigotry and hatred just because we’re a little different from each other.

Isn’t that a good enough reason to try to work together?

See you soon!
