The Point

Jon Stewart makes the point that the spirit of the thing matters - not just the letter.

If what you're trying to do is make the whole thing better, then you have to work at fixing the mechanism itself.

We continue to have problems in a larger sense because too many people get hung up on the symbols instead of addressing their concerns to the ideals those symbols are supposed to stand for.

This seems particularly important on a day like the 4th of July.
