Where would we have read that, Wall Street Urinal?
This is hilarious. I've long said that for many Americans, the only thing they know about the Declaration of *INDEPENDENCE* is that it's about "equality."
No. It's about *INDEPENDENCE*.
It is *NOT* about "equality." That line "All men are created equal" was not seen as applying to slaves when it was written. For the representatives and the populations they represented, it was about white Colonists. There was little thought that it should apply to slaves at the time it was written, (except for Jefferson of course) it was meant to argue the case of Englishmen.
It was Later seen to be hypocritical that we should say such a thing, yet not give the slaves their freedom, and some men did subsequently free their slaves as a consequence of pondering this idea.
But it is a modern conceit to believe the Declaration which justified the Separation of the 13 Colonies from England, is somehow about "equality."
It isn't.
I’m not sour, I’m in a pretty darn good mood!
Nothing more dispicable in human nature, save treachery or betrayal (and they are guilty of lots of this, too, don't sell them short) is the mere INGRATITUDE of the wonderful lives they have all enjoyed, the massive wealth and respect they have amassed, the delectable things that life on earth has shown them... BECAUSE of the American way of life. Fountainhead of so many of the Almighty's blessings that it is.
When they arrest one of these boneheads at a demonstration spraypainting a statue of a Founding Father or pouring glue on a work of art, we invariably are introduced to an extremely low character.
But almost UNIVERSALLY one of great privilege, relative youth, great potential -- who has squandered it to pursue demonic, narcissistic, evil works of destruction directed at sane, working, austere, quiet, law-abiding, normals like us.
It may or may not hurt us in a serious way, but the worst aspect as far as I am concerned is the ingratide of these people AFTER they have been given lives that only a billionth of all the humans who were ever born would ever experience.
