My Fourth of July entry, yesterday, was to urge us to "reclaim" our government (rather than giving up on it). This is easier to say than to do.
Practical civics seems like a priority to me.
We live, simultaneously, in two different worlds. Ultimately, we live in the World of Nature, a world that we did not create and the world upon which all life depends. Most immediately, we inhabit a "human world" that we create ourselves. Because our human world is the result of our own choices and actions, we can say, quite properly, that we live, most immediately, in a “political world.” In this blog, I hope to explore the interaction of these two worlds that we call home.
Thanks for the link. Yes, families with a stake in the future must reclaim our government!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leila! I really enjoyed learning about your family/community celebration in support of "civics."
