Letter to the Editor: Fragile democracy

The tribalism infecting our attitudes towards one another is corrosive to the values and feelings that bind us together. It's small wonder that foreign powers are using social media to divide us.

Last week's celebration of the life of Sen. John McCain was a pointed reminder of what we have lost both in Congress and in our discourse with one another.

My hope and prayer is that we use this moment to remember that our differences are less important than the things that bind us together and that our love for one another can yet solve the problems of freedom.
