Smith: Memorial Day Thoughts
QR’s Liberal Columnist Glenn W. Smith writes that on Memorial Day we honor those who perished or suffered that we may live on “to love one another.” Those who today sow hate and discord should reflect upon their actions, too.
A group of people are gathered in a room. The light goes out, as
lights sometimes do. Rather than change the bulb, a loud voice gathers half the
room into a group that blames the others for the predicament. The others, a new
bulb in one hand, fight back with the other. The room stays dark. Welcome to
America, 2018.
It’s worse than that. The room is not actually dark. The loud
voice is just frightening half the room that the other half wants to turn off
the light. The threat of darkness is an apocalyptic fantasy that uses hatred of
others to enforce loyalty to the loud voice.
