In this age of deep and growing civic divisions, perhaps it's time to revise the comic strip Pogo's iteration of U.S. Navy Master Commandant Oliver Perry's quote from the War of 1812: "We have met the enemy and it is us."
From our special Dinner at the Square guest Stephen Kiernan's masterpiece book Authentic Patriotism:
“The problems America faces are not going to be solved by either political party, nor are they exclusively the fault of any political party. I am reminded of the line in William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet: “A plague on both your houses.” In a democracy politics are merely the manifestation of the people’s will; if Congress is weak, it is because the public’s leadership of politicians has been insufficient.”
This throwback episode is part of The Village Square's return to some of the most basic, inspiring and effective ideas we've heard through our years about how to actually fix what ails us, leading up to the launch of our Flying Pig Academy, where we'll teach our model of returning to civic health. Stay tuned.
We think it will inspire you. (You can also watch this program here.)
The Village Square is a proud member of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what's broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.

Jonathan Norris lives in Toronto, and has a passion for tech that started early in his life. He has participated in the First Robotics competition, which got him into mechanical engineering, building robots, and leading teams to world championships. He still actively volunteers and mentors people in the program today. Outside of tech, he is a new Dad, and stays quite busy parenting his kid, when he's not riding an eBike to work.
In Winter 2014, Jonathan and his founding team did Y-combinator and formed Taplytics. After doing this for nearly 10 years, what his team noticed was the most passionate users were developers using feature flagging over the core offering of the product. So - they decided to spin out a new brand, to focus on just that.

When Bay Curious listener Lori Bodenhamer looks at Google Maps, she's always wondered why a small slice of Alameda island is part of San Francisco. The answer takes us all the way back to women the Spanish colonized the area.

Palestinian-American author, opinion columnist, and Distinguished Public Policy Fellow at the American University in Beirut Rami Khouri joins Bad Faith to provide much needed background on how and why Arab nations are realigning in response to continued Israeli aggression in Gaza. Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis and others are part of what Khouri describes as an axis of resistance, but what is motivating these disparate groups, how do the last seven decades of conflict between Israel and its neighbors inform regional attitudes, and what is the potential for a broader regional war? Also, Khouri weighs in on the State Department's response to South Africa's petition for the International Court of Justice to charge Israel with genocide, and the Biden administration's response to Ben-Gvir & Smotritch's calls for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Finally, he talks about the Nakba affected his own family, and how his Arab Israeli loved ones in Nazareth are experiencing post-10/7 Israel.
