I found Shipler’s metaphor to be really accurate and surprising; it brought both truth and seriousness…

    America through Hardship Much of America’s history is filled with challenges created by a foreign enemy, such as the Central Powers during World War I, or a domestic adversary, which could be anyone from the U.S. government to a specific group of people, like racist white Southerners.

Another usual way Americans respond is with protesting or having a rebellious attitude when faced with frustrating decisions made by the U.S. government. And the last way Americans might respond is with violence.…
