The idea that all men are created equal - with the inalienable right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness - was a radical idea in 1776 and it’s a radical idea today. We’ve never fully actualized it but the higher purpose of every generation is to inch us closer to the goal

Thank you for expressing that. After following you for some time I almost lost faith that you still believed in the US Constitution as a worthy goal and our failures are not that the Constitution is flawed but only that we've failed to realize its brilliant meaning.

I'm sorry but what our forefathers went through is now extinct and irrelevant today. Sad but true.

Universal Wellbeing... The goal is simple The pursuit is not The motivation is our children The stake is our humanity The tools are exploration, compassion, dignity, and grace The time is now

Not really a radical idea today. Is it?

Hopefully moving closer to realizing it, Marianne! Then u have prof Wolff and Chris hedges warming of an imminent collapse, it can be confusing at times!

Um…it’s not radical today…it’s common sense. Actually, it’s radical for those who demonize certain races and lift others up…and this racism that still persists exists on the far right and far left. What is radical is not judging by color but character!

And so now thru advanced technology we learn that a human life begins at fertilization. We know that a Zygote is the first form of human life combining all of the elements to continue human development. So why should we not extend the same rights and care due a developed human?
