Independence Day

In a belated report: I saw fireworks Tuesday evening.

Our country has its problems, and there are always reasons for concern, but, at least for now, we don’t have Donald Trump or a Trumpublican in the White House. President Biden is a politician with whom I have disagreements, and he isn’t as bright as might be wished, but he is not a Russian asset or a devoted enemy of the Constitution.

I remember the Bicentennial celebration, when, as a gloomy eleven year old, I was worried about the survival of the country and of civilization, with the threats of nuclear war and resource depletion. We have survived forty-seven more anniversaries, and whatever our current and impending problems, there is hope.
