“Dear America: A quick observation, this thing that you’re doing; claiming to unite your people by dividing them into identity groups, exploiting their differences and pitting one group against another as a way of advancing interests . . . um, it isn’t working. People either feel entitled or harmed, and everyone is arguing with each other. I guess it’s as true for science as it is for the spirit; to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As a way of uniting people you may want to try having them focus on their commonalities instead of their differences. Have them view each other by who they are on the inside, and not what they are on the outside. After all, our commonalities eclipse our differences. Okay, that’s all. By the way, apparently my letter has created a stir. I’ve offended the people who feel entitled, and the people who feel they’ve been harmed are gloating. Yep, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Sincerely, A. Humanitarian” — Anthony P. Mauro, Sr
