In the spirit of July 4th, the spirit in which I wrote my book, I am compelled to review the words of the Declaration of Independence:
"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, among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men deriving their powers from the consent of the governed."
The words used in this declaration (which, of course, pertain American independence) include words such as JUSTICE and EQUALITY.
Too bad that tyranny has sometimes taken over the world-amongst individuals and within governments. I would like to imagine we live in a world where Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness reign supreme, for now and forever, not just for us, but for our children and our children's children, so the world may become a more decent and humane place.
Happy July 4th!
