Shoved to Them
Happy Independence Day to all my American readers! How long has it been since you read the Declaration of Independence? High school? College? Have you ever read the whole thing all the way through? Take a moment now and read it all, this statement which changed the world.
I am forever in awe over the words of Jefferson fueled by the energy and tenacity of Adams.
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.
Go read the rest. May God continue to bless America.
