MY TURN: Those who don't learn from history ...
My fellow citizens, my fellow American citizens. I’ll be a bit surprised that this opinion piece might be published, especially since I’m not a community leader or an influencer; I’m just a citizen in Kootenai County, Idaho, USA.
Over the past 10 years, especially the last 20 months, I’ve been reflecting on why we’re where we are. I’ve felt a mix of frustration, anger, disappointment, and outrage. But I’ve also felt joy, elation, surprise, and hope. Yes, we’re celebrating 250 years of democracy, even though our history isn’t always perfect.

Just as we are flawed today, we’re at a crossroads, a turning point that will decide whether we continue to enjoy another 250 years of democracy.
