The US is having an identity crisis, our generation forced to decide: will we or will we not choose to stand on the principles bequeathed to us: the equality of all; God-given inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness; & govt. existing to secure those rights.

Important we consider that question because it’s not the way we function now. Much govt policy does NOT respect the equality of all & does NOT support everyone’s pursuit of happiness. According to Dec of Ind, if govt fails to do its job it’s the right of the people to alter it.

The Declaration of Independence is America’s mission statement; part of our problem is that our generation has failed to emotionally and psychologically bond with it. Its principles are dead if they’re not alive in our hearts. Read it and reread it. It will change you. #bigtruth

As long as human beings are around, there will always be greed, prejudice, and ill-will toward others. Hasn’t changed yet...
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes, those three. As has always been the case, as government grows - liberty and the pursuit of happiness diminish.

Good thread, well said. Are we going to look in the mirror now and acknowledge what we are seeing?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Not all Americans.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Government is not to provide for us or secure us happiness, but provide an environment in which we can make our own way according to our individual talents. Please stop making government the answer to every question.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Totally agree
