In Congress, July 4, 1776 http://www.truthout.org/article/in-congress-july-4-1776 The Continental Congress: “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 of 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.”
The full posting, read in its entirety, courtesy of Truthout, should help us get through the next 198-odd days… until 2009-01-20. Less than 200 days to go!
It is time to abolish the politics of hatred and deceit. It is time to get back on the course we should stay, not the one benefiting less than 1% of the Earth’s population. We understand that wars are fought economically, and that we are fighting a fight that has ancient roots. We unwittingly are victims of the war foist on us by the wealthiest amongst us as well as the insanely rich from other nations.
But there are a lot more of us who are getting the faint glimmer of realization that we have the power to come together and once again abolish tyrants.
May we see a real change in this country, and not another shadow puppet like King George the Wth.
Peace,
Shecky
