For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “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.”

A poor first half - again.

The Seahawks received to begin the first half. The ball went out of bounds at about the one or two yard line so they started on the 40.

The Seahawks started out with a fairly weak offense and had to settle for a field goal. Then when they had the ball again, Matt Hasselbeck threw an interception. The result was a field goal for the Cowboys.

A bit later, and a completed pass that looked like a first down for the Cowboys was fumbled and the Seahawks took the ball away.

Neither offense was looking very good. The Seahawks managed to get another field goal to make the score 3-6 Seattle, but they just couldn't get the ball into the end zone otherwise.

Matt Hasselbeck was looking pretty bad. On one play, he threw the ball right directly to one of the defenders. Fortunately for Seattle, the ball was dropped. My brother, who is visiting this week from West Point remarked "Sorry, didn't mean to hit you in the hands with the ball".

The Cowboys seemed to pull together in the last few minutes of the first half. A good 32 yard pass, was quickly followed up with a touchdown. Both teams went into the locker room shortly after that, with the score 10-6 Cowboys.

So far, it's been a defensive slugfest. Both offenses have done fairly poorly.

Not much of a game so far, and the Seahawks are behind. I hope it gets better soon.
