Two Wolves and a Lamb: Democracy this July 4
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains

Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what they are going to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” The tensions in democracy are inherent and, ideally, managed, though never entirely resolved. Let us honor both our joy and our concern this July 4, celebrating our interdependence as well as our freedoms.
