In these truly challenging times, it amazes me how often individuals get caught up in issues that truly do not impact the overall well-being of people, but just differences in people and how they believe. There is presently an ongoing discussion surrounding one of the Board of Supervisors in Floyd County contacting Channel 10 News and complaining about their anchors not wearing flag pins on their lapel and claiming the station is unpatriotic. In response to this, people are jumping on the BOS member for using patriotism to drive a wedge in between groups.
In my own personal opinion, this is just more of people focusing more on individual differences than on working towards addressing the current problems and issues that impact our counties, states and nation as a whole. I would love for people to put this much energy towards identifying commonalities and ways to work together instead of finding ways where they differ. Everyone has their own opinions, but sometimes it would be nice if those opinions were used to bring people together instead of trying to drive them apart and attack those who do not share your views.
