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 of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government..................."

The Declaration of Independence

[mopaul]

2. What you need is a revolution.

All it takes it a few million people.

[KingCantona]

3. We hold these truths to be self-evident

My only reservation with the declaration of independence is that if all men were indeed created equal why did it take another 100 years to abolish slavery?...

That said, of course this present government needs to be deposed, but through democratic means, that is the only way that a true democracy can affect a change of government...:)...

4. THEY don't play by the rules, why should we?

[KingCantona]

7. We're bigger than they are

Stooping to the level of your enemies isn't a way that I would like to win...

It seems to me that the US is the only bastion of "me, me, me" politics still active in the western world, it won't last forever...

6. and the only good indian is a dead indian

:shrug: the ideas expressed in the Declaration were wonderful but they were only people with all the faults of people that wrote it. The caliber of person has sure diminished over the years.

I think I have posted on here before but I have posted on so many boards that I can't remember, I might have just registered and not posted, I instead go on conservative boards to try and make them see the error of their ways, a waste ot time of course and I have been banned off three of them...:D...

Still it passes the time.......:D........
