Recently, I told a politically like-minded neighbor that I've been thinking about one lyric in Peter, Paul & Mary's "Light One Candle" recently. I told him that I think the lyric, "Don't let the light go out. It's lasted for so many years," could be used as a plea to preserve American democracy. He told me that unfortunately, the light has already gone out.
I'd like to believe that the light hasn't gone out just yet--but it's undeniably dimmer. Sadly, on or after January 20, it will likely diminish substantially.
