Happy Independence Day!
Gladly (VERY MUCH SO), we still have a roughly functional government. Peaceful ways to address our problems still have a good chance for working. Maybe we don't get exactly what we want all the time, but the chances of getting reasonable compromises in most areas are decent.
I see some people talking on the internet about how we are approaching another Civil War like time, but I just don't see it. Do you really think large numbers of people are willing to kill their neighbors for disagreeing over Citizens United, the ACA, or whatever the topic of the day is? I just don't see that as likely, and that makes me quite happy.
