A Caged Canary

Coal mining in the 20th century many times included taking a caged canary into the depths underground. These birds were sensitive to carbon monoxide, a potentially deadly gas devoid of color, taste or smell, that often formed in the mines.

What’s the Big Deal?

A dead bird in the cage meant the miners needed to be alert–deadly conditions were at hand.

What That Means to Us?

Watching the political banter over the past months has been telling. Pointing fingers and one-upping from both sides of the aisle took front and center stage while often pressing issues were left untouched.

I think the caged canary has stopped singing. Please, let’s all heed the issues at hand that prove to be deadly.
