Question of the Day - 04 July 2020

On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted in favor of approving a resolution for independence from Britain. Two days later, delegates from the 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson. Of course, the new United States had to prevail over the reigning superpower of the day in the lengthy, costly, and bitter Revolutionary War, which it did.

Today, we're involved in a different kind of conflict against an enemy that's invisible. And though the ongoing battle is, by all measures, lengthy, costly, and bitter, if we keep the faith, do what's right, and remember that we're fighting for our independence from an oppressor, like our forefathers and foremothers, we will triumph. Failure is not an option.

So Happy Declaration of Independence Day, everyone. This Thing too shall pass and we'll be free (from it) again.
