Raymond J. de Souza: Where was America 250’s celebratory spectacle?

The article critiques the lack of meaningful celebration during the 250th anniversary of America, pointing out that despite the grand scale of the festivities, there was a notable absence of uplifting content. It draws parallels to other large-scale events like the World Cup, emphasizing that sheer size and spectacle don't necessarily equate to substance or meaningful reflection. The piece argues that this oversight undermines the true spirit of the celebration, suggesting a missed opportunity to reflect on America's values and history in a profound way. It's a call to reconsider how we honor significant milestones and the importance of substance over mere grandeur.
