Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for September 30, 2014

My problem is that too much emphasis is placed on the heritage and not the present which would create the future. People label themselves with their heritage first and their nationality last. The past should be reflected and remembered as a guide for the future; preventing themselves from repeating mistakes or Oops moments in history. The United States was once a melting pot of cultures creating unity from the diversity of cultures; but it appears to me that people have been emphasizing the diversity more than the unity that our freedoms gives us as Americans.
