DISTANT THOUGHTS
Although there are many other issues affecting Americans currently, I begin to wonder whether patriotism is understood or practiced by what I view as a formidable mob of Americans specifically, and some other Americans generally. The mob mindset does not reflect the values expressed in the American anthem sung at schools to be impressed on young minds, at sporting events, and whenever the opportunity arises. The saying – “repetition leads to learning” apparently does not apply to everyone.
