My people were here long before the pilgrims sailed across the ocean to land in plymouth. but independence day is not just about the united states. It clearly states ALL men are created equal. And I love all my friends from across the pond. Its about freedom. freedom to all those yearning to be free...so congress needs to read the fine print on the declaration..i firmly believe the longer you push people around, the people push back. I have said it before and I will say it again.. A revolution can be a good thing...
The Declaration Of Indepence..(excerpt)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --
I saw today where Andy Griffith died. I loved watching his show growing up. where I was raised, was almost like mayberry. A small village where everyone knew everyone else. Things move there in slow motion. No one in a hurry to get someplace. and there were always time sitting out on the front porch, during the spring and hot summers, drinking lemonade or a soda and gossip.
Sighs, things move too fast now and they call it progress. I call it a way of life that no longer exists. and thats sad.
