We The People..

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase is meant to exemplify the "unalienable rights" with which all human beings are endowed by their Creator and for the protection of which they institute governments.

So the rights we are entitled to are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Life... we all have the right to live. Nobody is entitled to take that away.. or at least supposedly.  The way I look at America is this is true.... so long as you don't kill somebody else, you pay your taxes, etc;  You can live your life as long as you abide by certain rules.  So the way I take this is the government chooses your right to life.

Liberty... we all have the right to freedom.  Who gave us that right?  I personally don't feel it's a right, but more so a privilege. Why are we, the American people, the "glorified" ones? I mean, we are a pretty kick-ass country and all, but still. Are we better than everyone else?  Before you answer that, think about it. Are we really? And after you answer that, add the word "off" after better... then see if your answer is the same. ARE WE BETTER OFF?

The pursuit of happiness... we all have the right to pursue happiness.  So, what you're saying is I can do whatever I want because it's making me happy?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  If me being nude on the beach makes me happy (and I'm sure a bunch of old men in Speedos as well), do I have this right?

Are you voting?

Election day is Tuesday, November 6th.  Before you decide to vote, think about it.  REALLY think about it. Don't do it because "HE'S BLACK!" or "HE'S WHITE!"  Those, first of all, are the dumbest reasons of all. Are we going to be retroactive and go back to the way things used to be by letting the color of someone's skin determine the treatment they get?

Don't do it because "HE'S DEMOCRATIC" or "HE'S REPUBLICAN"... Again, affiliation is a stupid reason. So, hypothetically you have Republican views, which Obama is spewing out of his mouth and they are the EXACT things you would vote for.... IF he was Republican.  But because he's not, you wouldn't vote for him?

Do it because this is what all of those people who get sent home in a wooden box are fighting for.  FOR YOU TO HAVE THE FREEDOM TO VOTE FOR WHO YOU DECIDE TO VOTE FOR.  If you won't vote for yourself, at least vote for them.
