Lastly, let’s state the obvious. The natural state of most Americans is happy and content. Regardless of income or station in life, most of us find someone or something to laugh about and enjoy. Even the poorest of Americans imagine a bright future in which our children won’t remember all the horrible memes we liked or professional sports we boycotted. Our children will never hear the bad jokes we told, and best of all, our children will never know that we were willing to gamble our freedom and theirs for three minutes on prime-time television. The current state of things will not be the permanent state of things. Things will get better. So, “Let’s Make A Deal.” Give back the envelope and choose door number one. Choose peace in the community after the election. Choose to build relationships and friendships, regardless of the Supreme Court composition. Choose to tolerate neighbors who are aggravating, as you realize they are also tolerating aggravation which seems to come at us all from every side. Choose door number one. Take the risk. That’s the deal where we all win, especially when we understand what is really at stake.
