\"\"<\/a>I have not seen a production of Hamilton<\/em><\/strong> although it\u2019s been playing downtown for several years.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the buzz Lin-Manuel Miranda created by re-writing as hip hip-hop an important opening chapter in American history, I\u2019ve become familiar with lyrics to some of the show\u2019s tunes.<\/p>\n

In a scene, Aaron Burr bemoans the nature of politics in the fledgling collection of colonies as they try to unite for different reasons, despite different goals of individual leaders.<\/p>\n

He sings of the necessity to \u201cHold your nose and close your eyes,\u201d because of what leaders give away in trade for something they want.<\/p>\n

Then, he follows with the refrain, \u201cI want to be in the room where it happens,\u201d summing up the feelings of many, that key decisions, made in our name \u2013 made for the collective \u2013 are usually made by the few without much input from most of US, and he doesn\u2019t want something precious to him, to be given away by someone so disc-connected from his needs and concerns.<\/p>\n

I want to be in the room where it happens\u2026.. <\/em><\/p>\n

I thought about this idea this week as the country celebrated its independence.<\/p>\n

Like many Americans, I have been disheartened by the state of our political discourse; by the horrendous acts of cruelty and unconsciousness that have been performed in my name as an American.<\/p>\n

I get upset about news pundits that talk about the importance of the Democratic party needing \u00a0to revamp their messaging to the electorate when a bigger fundamental issue is not spoken much about.\u00a0 The proverbial elephant in the room is that important decisions are made without the input from the people impacted by those decisions.<\/p>\n

The current administration passed a tax cut for the wealthy although roughly only 15% of the population thought it to be a good idea.\u00a0 (Republican donors represented many of those who approved.)<\/p>\n

Most of the country would prefer to fix the Affordable Care Act, working on actually making things more affordable<\/em>, than scrap it, and most Americans want a path to citizenship for DREAMers.<\/p>\n

Most of the country approves of common sense gun laws.<\/p>\n

But, most of us can\u2019t get in the room where things happen.<\/p>\n

I thought about this as I contemplated my options for the 4th<\/sup> of July,\u00a0 a paid day off from work for many of us, a chance to fire up the grill and tell yourself the diet starts tomorrow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t on anyone\u2019s invitation list, and I didn\u2019t want to stray too far from home, so I could be around for my pooch during the expecting tat-tat\u2014tat-tat-tat chain of firecracker eruptions.<\/p>\n

Early in the day, I invited one friend and my 22 year-old niece over. We grilled brats and had homemade sides.\u00a0 My friend Holly made a yummy batch of sangria.\u00a0 After dinner, when my niece left to meet her friends and the humidity was breaking a little, Holly and I sat on my back deck.<\/p>\n

As dusk followed its natural routine of darkening, moving towards the right level of contrast for pyrotechnics, sure enough, the activity in the surrounding area picked up.\u00a0 From my second floor deck, we could see smoke from ground displays and sporadic colored shots from Roman candles only blocks away.<\/p>\n

A little later, we could see gold and red flashes above garages and trees.\u00a0 They were being set off from nearby parks or behind houses.<\/p>\n

At about 9:00, as the sky grew darker,\u00a0 my downstairs neighbor, a man in his mid-forties, emerged from his deck onto the parking pad behind our building.\u00a0 He was carrying a small object, like a bucket, and had a Cheshire Cat grin on his face.\u00a0 He said:<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t take the eight year-old boy out of me, I guess.<\/em><\/p>\n

He proceeded to set off a series of five or six sky rockets with dramatic pauses and appreciative applause in between.<\/p>\n

Rather than fighting traffic to get to a major holiday show or, worse yet, watching celebrations on TV, organized by politicians who try to co-op the holiday for their own political purposes, the fireworks show this 4th<\/sup> was (to borrow Lincoln’s words)\u00a0\u00a0Of the people, By the people, <\/strong>and For the people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I had never before been in the room where it happened<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 I have never been so close to a skyrocket going off.\u00a0 I felt oddly safe, sitting comfortably on my deck chair.\u00a0 I was positively gleeful.<\/p>\n

\u2026.and I regained a measure of hope about our future.<\/p>\n

A leader probably won\u2019t save us, but the total engagement of neighbors in building an ever-expanding community based on what we can share just might.<\/p>\n

Enjoying a do-it-yourself 4th<\/sup> of July celebration is no small thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
