KOCH: Lincoln column worth celebrating

Evan Koch wrote an inspired article on celebrating Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. I would encourage those who may not have read it in the Feb. 14 edition to do so.  

To truly celebrate Lincoln’s birthday is to celebrate his commitment to the rule of law and to our democratic values as the world’s longest standing democracy.  

Thank you Evan for helping us to understand how our passions can overwhelm our common sense and if left unbridled will destroy our democracy.
