Celebrating the Fourth of July in Troubling Times

Why don't people see what is happening?
Why won't people face what is happening?
Why do we feel so powerless to stop what is happening?
Why are we so powerless to stop what is happening?

Why does a line on a map decide who is worthy and who isn't?
Why do we think America is better than everywhere else?
Why do some Americans think that means THEY are better than everyone else?
Why does it matter, anyway, since we're only here due to luck and geography? 

Why do we take pride in foundations that we had nothing to do with creating?
Why don't we take responsibility for the challenges of today?
