I want to tell you something hopeful. Something that you might miss if you get caught up in the news cycle with all the misery and miserable news.
To understand the cycle and our place within it, let’s step back you and I, and take a broad view of the American experiment. I want to show you how we got here. Then you’ll understand where we’re headed.
Early colonists practiced genocide before they adopted slavery. Both systems ended after evolving into a democracy, framed within a constitutional Republic and amended to include a Bill of [human]Rights.

So far so good? These are just broad strokes; I’m just going for an outline.
