Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2022 GONEMAD | FROM Page 2 vere. This “us” versus “them” mentality hurts everyone and it is up to each of us to understand this reality. The last time America fought like one nation was back on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, when America was attacked at the World Trade Center. I still remember what that felt like. It felt good but it took a horrible tragedy to knock some sense into us. That period of oneness was far too brief. Today, America is back once again to September 10, 2001, when we were our usual disunited selves. In more recent years this polarization has gone really out of control and grown into a spreading cancer of sorts. The cure is found in each of us to fi nd those ways to bind us together. There is always more that unites us, than divides us. This polarization isn’t helping fi x anything in this country and only builds walls around each of us. We can’t wait for our elected leaders to fi nd solutions when most of them are the problem. We wait for the free press to offer solutions when they seem to enjoy the turmoil. To put it short and simply, Mayor Brian Arrigo is correct: WE’VE ALL GONE MAD. The job for all of us is to recognize the madness around us and be part of the solution bringing us back to sanity again. I am willing to take the fi rst step. Anyone want to join me? Government, after all, is our business. Act like you know that either we run it or it runs us. Standing together beats screaming and yelling like a bunch of banshees. Stop the madness. ~ Home of the Week ~ SAUGUS.....Elegant, Custom CE Col boasting 10+ rms, 4 bedrms, 3 1/2 baths, gorgeous, gourmet kit w/custom quartz counters & center island, top-of-the-line Wolfe 6 burner gas stove w/griddle molding throughout, incredible master suite w/”walk-around” walkin closet & NEW bath w/oversized, custom shower & double sink View the interior of this home right on your smartphone.
