Top of Mind Thursday September 17, 2015: The Circus Atmosphere

Top of Mind Thursday

Grab some popcorn and a drink. Find a seat with a good view and get comfortable. The circus is in town and it looks like it may be here for awhile.

No, I’m not talking about Ringling Brothers or even Cirque du Soleil, unfortunately. This is the American presidential campaign and, for better or worse, it’s got another 15 months to run.

The Republican candidates held another set of debates last night, which appear to be as much an exercise in berating the other performers as it is in educating the populace about the views of particular candidates. We haven’t yet had the Democratic version of this act–that will come after intermission.

While this is certainly more entertaining than the usual political process, we run the risk of choosing the next leader of the free world based on media and entertainment value. If we focus on the clowns, the funny thing is the joke for the next four years will be on us.

Top of Mind Thursday September 10, 2015: Remembering 9/11

Top of Mind Thursday

Tomorrow is the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks–the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil.

The world has changed dramatically in the last decade and a half. We’ve fought two difficult and costly wars. Our sense of invincibility is gone. We remain vigilant and on alert for potential terrorist attacks around the world. Yet our economy has rebounded, our way of life is secure, and we are not deterred or disabled by the threat of terrorists.

Two news items stand out this week. In Kentucky, a court clerk was jailed for refusing to grant marriage licenses for same-sex couples. In Europe, hundreds of thousands of Syrians escaping the brutal consequences of civil war in their homeland are being offered safety and sanctuary–with just a handful being allowed into the United States.

Post 9/11, we went to battle in the name of freedom. Yet there is still major work to do in this area–in our back yard and across the world. The lesson of 9/11 is not to build a fortress to lock out those who are unlike us, but to embrace and help those who do not yet enjoy the same rights the rest of us often take for granted.
