To: the invisib1e hand
Do any of THESE words sound familiar?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable 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 power from the consent of the governed"
--Thomas Jefferson.
Well, to YOU perhaps; but will they to your children? or THEIR children?


from the consent of the governed.........

Our silence keeps THIS from being true: we are ruled by petty tryants and we LIKE it!

Or else we'd do something ABOUT it instead of yammering away, all day long, it front of our pacifiying terminals..........

The people revel in their slavery. A gilded cage is STILL a cage.

Its amazing how most people I talk to know all about their favorite football, baseball, hockey etc team and know nothing about the Declaration of Independence and/or the Constitution and don't want to know. Yet these same people will bi*ch and complain all the time.
