His piece titled “We’ve all gone mad...and just too far,” spoke truth to power. As Arrigo stated, “What tragedy must occur to bring us back together? What war must we fi ght to right our collective spirit of oneness? What heinous act will we have to witness? What storm will we need to weather together to bring us back together?” I agree with the mayor that America’s experiment of self-governance is being tested once again. Living in this age of polarization, the stakes are too high to maintain neutrality. Thanks to the echo chambers out there in our midst being fed by a media less intent on giving us news and facts and more intent on both dividing and pitting us against each other. Our elected offi cials in both parties act out against each other and all we get is a maddening crowd. There is a lot of sound and fury but most of it is meaningless. President James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, once observed that if men were angels there would be little need for government, which is why we have a constitution to follow. We are far lesser than angels and we see this fact every day. Lately, in the City of Revere, we see this national passion play at work. Civil discourse has given way to an explosion of passion. It has been seen recently at both City Council meetings and those of the Human Rights Commission. We need to listen more than talk. We need to maintain respect for opposing views. We should be able to listen and respond without going to the nuclear option. Words and actions must be respectful. We are all one people. We are all looking out for what is best for our nation, our state and here in this city, for ReGONEMAD | SEE Page 16 Prices subject to change Ask about our Heating Oil Conditioner! FLEET
