“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.”

Site outage...

Sometime between 6:00AM PDT and 7:00AM PDT this morning my site was hacked. Needless to say I find this a bit disconcerting. The main page of the site was modified with a script that broke the display of the page so visitors were receiving the standard error message page I put up. Visitors to "inner" site pages were not affected.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I've restored the main page. There will be another site outage sometime this morning while I update passwords and other information for the site. I suspect that that may have been the problem since it's been about six months since I did that for the primary account on the site.
[Update: The password change has taken place. From the error messages that my site sends me when failures happen, I caught one spammer and one legitimate visitor. Apologies to the legitimate visitor and may the spammer rot.]
