Happy Epiphany!

A child is born.

Why?

Because its parents got together in a certain way and, nine months later, biologically it’s what happens sometimes.

Is that what it’s all about? In the United States of America? Really?

Keep your nose clean … play your cards right, and YOU … you can …

What?

That scenario could play out two thousand years ago. Or 2019 years ago. But here …

… here, in this country, in the United States of America, which we, helped along by Norman Rockwell’s pictures* were brought up to believe was a democratic republic, with liberty and justice for all?

Think about it.
