The Declaration of Independence says God gave us “unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” That governments are instituted to secure those rights, and if government is “destructive of these ends” it is “the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”

What’s your point?

My point is that Americans have been trained to be complacent, to forget the radicalism of the American experiment in self-governance. We do not owe it to our government to go along with systems of injustice; our right to vote is our right to make that clear.

Are you familiar with the term "conversation starter"? Stating something that others know isn't insulting their intelligence!
