“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.”

The Seahawks Enter the Postseason with a Win

In one of the best games I've seen out of the Seahawks in weeks, the Seahawks beat the Bucs 23 to 7. A couple of injuries didn't help, bringing the Hawks into the playoffs without either of their starting cornerbacks.
The offence was better than expected. Not a single three-and-out for the Hawks in the whole game. Just as it looked like they might give up their first three-and-out, Jamie Winborn ran into Ryan Plackemeier, for a five yard penalty and a Seahawks first down.
The Seahawks finished off the game with a couple of knees by Matt Hasselbeck, breaking their losing streak. They go into the playoffs just as most of the offense is getting healthy. They also broke the "curse" of the Superbowl losers and finished out with a winning record. Meanwhile the Steelers didn't even make the playoffs.
The Seahawks are at home next week for the opening round of the playoffs. Go Hawks!
The Seahawks finish with a 9-7 record, and the Bucs fall to 4-12.
