“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.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776
“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)
“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Alexander not expected to play against Rams on Sunday

Shaun Alexander is not expected in Sunday's game against St. Louis, coach Mike Holmgren said on Tuesday.
Alexander underwent a CT scan and magnetic-resonance image tests on his left foot on Monday and Tuesday, and Holmgren said that Alexander could be on the field, running later this week, but he is not expected to play this weekend. Holmgren said Alexander probably would need a full week of practice before returning.
Holmgren also said that quarterback Matt Hasselbeck could be back at practice later this week, but isn't expected to return until the Nov. 19 game at San Francisco at the earliest.

More bad news for the Seahawks. They've gone 2-3 without Shaun Alexander. Sure they won last night, but that was also against the worst offense in the league. Maurice Morris has taken up the slack admirably, rushing for 138 yards last night.
The Seahawks are going to need to step up again on Sunday though. The Rams are a much better team than the Raiders. A loss for the Seahawks next week and the Rams will be tied with them for the lead in the NFC West.
