“We have met the enemy and he is us,” said Walt Kelly’s cartoon character Pogo, half a century ago, about what we Americans were doing to our environment.
Rereading President Joe Biden’s inaugural address, Pogo’s remark comes to mind.
Biden began on a lofty, hopeful and familiar note:
“This is a great nation. We are a good people.”
He ended in the same vein: “So, with purpose and resolve, we turn to those tasks of our time. Sustained by faith. Driven by conviction. And, devoted to one another and the country we love with all our hearts.”
